EDI Strategic Planning 2 Mar 2010 IndianapolisEd Morrison
The document summarizes an advanced strategic planning course covering four phases: defining a plan, assessing options, making choices, and implementing/measuring. It discusses defining geographic scope, stakeholders, budgets, and communications plans in phase 1. Phase 2 focuses on using quantitative data and tools to analyze economic indicators, clusters, and regional assets. Phase 3 discusses criteria for evaluating options and a portfolio approach. Phase 4 is about implementation, measurement, and updating strategies.
The document summarizes the major changes between the 5th and 6th editions of the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK). Key changes include a greater acknowledgement of agile principles, a revised structure with separate guides and standards, and increased emphasis on adaptation, business needs, knowledge management, and the enterprise environment. Process changes involve the addition of three new processes and renaming of several existing processes.
1. Today's decision making faces increased complexity due to accelerating innovation, globalization, and interconnected world problems. Traditional reductionist and cause-and-effect thinking cannot adequately address this complexity.
2. Focusing only on efficiency within parts of a system does not guarantee effectiveness of the overall system in achieving its goals. Unplanned and counterintuitive outcomes can also arise from unintended consequences and feedback loops.
3. Systems thinking views problems holistically as parts of larger wholes and recognizes properties that emerge from the interaction of diverse elements. It provides a more effective approach than reductionism for complex decision making today.

This document describes the participative design workshop (PDW) process for organizational redesign using a socio-ecological systems perspective. The PDW has three phases: analysis of the current situation, redesigning the organization's structure and workflows, and planning implementation. It utilizes design principles, rapid iteration, and prototyping. Participants work in "mirror groups" to analyze factors like employee engagement, analyze skills, and design the new organization structure. The goal is to produce an optimal redesign of the organization as a learning system that meets human and environmental needs.
(Mis)understanding flow with metrics - Johan KarlssonHansoft AB
This document discusses the importance of understanding product development flow using metrics. It argues that organizations should not be dogmatic about which metrics they use and should trust people over data unless data is being used for a good reason. The document suggests we may be experiencing a paradigm shift in how metrics are used, from a focus on performance metrics to using scientific methods to discover what actually affects outcomes. It maintains that organizations that can discover and understand their actual product development flow will have a competitive advantage.
There are two main types of project change: change control and change management. Change control involves having a plan and process for handling changes to project requirements and scope. It is important to measure any changes against the project baseline and always communicate changes to stakeholders. Change management focuses on managing the people side of change. It involves identifying audiences and barriers to change, communicating the benefits of changes, and monitoring understanding of changes. Successful projects plan for and manage both types of change.

Discussion Change ManagementChange often involves moving out.docxeve2xjazwa
Discussion : Change Management
Change often involves moving outside one’s comfort zone. The greater the change, the more discomfort it is likely to cause. The substantial changes associated with implementing major health care information technology projects can be disconcerting for individuals within health care organizations. People become comfortable with following a routine process and knowing their job expectations. For some, changes to routine may cause anxiety. Project managers must be able to apply change management methods that enable stakeholders to recognize and accept the benefits of a change. Project managers have a variety of methods at their disposal to mitigate uneasiness resulting from change, including conflict resolution, communication strategies, or team-building. With new health care technologies emerging at an increasingly rapid rate, proficiency in applying change management methods is critical.
In this Discussion, you analyze different methods that project managers employ to facilitate change.

The document discusses organizational design and reengineering work processes. It provides an overview of key topics in chapter 11 of the Management textbook by Robbins and Coulter, including the essentials of organizational design, how contingency factors influence design, issues in subsystems design, and how to reengineer work processes. Specifically, it examines concepts like mechanistic versus organic designs, the influence of environment and strategy on structure, managing subsystem differentiation and integration, and the steps to reengineer core business processes.
Presentations describing the steps involved in a library website redesign are ubiquitous. Most redesigns
involve exhaustive plans, dense reports, and thorough documentation of site requirements. When the
website is perfected, this brand new site is rolled out to users. This is often a lengthy process.
The principals of Agile development champion interactions over processes, working software over
comprehensive documentation and responding to change over following a plan. These methods
encourage small, iterative changes on a rapid development and delivery cycle. This allows developers to
respond to needs more quickly and decreases the cognitive load on users while allowing them to more
easily adapt to change.
This presentation makes the case that library websites should adopt Agile practices. Small improvements through
iterative changes allow users to adapt and increase user satisfaction.

This document summarizes a presentation about integrating request management and project management tools. The presentation demonstrated how a request management solution called ReQue-MTM can be integrated with Microsoft Project Server and SharePoint to improve collaboration across organizational units. It showed how new requests are automatically routed for approval via email workflows, and how approved requests can then be linked to new projects created in Project Server. The integration of these tools allows organizations to more efficiently plan, prioritize, and deliver projects that fulfill stakeholder requests.
The document discusses key aspects of project planning according to the PMBOK guide. It notes that proper planning and project management are crucial to successfully complete temporary projects. Effective project management involves bringing together project components to achieve objectives. Key steps in planning include developing a work breakdown structure, defining activities and resources, and designing communication and monitoring systems. Establishing roles and an organizational structure is also important for integration and buy-in across stakeholders. Overall, thorough planning of the project scope, schedule, costs and quality aspects is the foundation for effective project execution and control.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
