MPUG Webinar - Creating a Portfolio KPI Report in Project OnlineRaphael Santos
Being able to report accurate data, providing real-time information about the health of the entire portfolio of projects, is one of the most wanted features Executives and PMO members are looking for when they consider acquiring a PPM tool such as Microsoft Project Online.
It is key for any organization that deeply depends on projects to run their business to understand and evaluate the performance of their portfolio in an easy and quickly way, so they can take strategic decisions based on live data.
In this webinar presentation, Raphael Santos will demonstrate all the steps required to build a KPI report with data coming from Project Online, so you can rock your next project status meeting.

solution. We can use a variety of techniques-the Gantt and deployment charts and
strategies for budgeting both personnel and money-to arrive at an efficient and
effective allocation. For individuals, proper time allocation and scheduling are
important for success. High-functioning executives and students alike use detailed
planners and calendars to keep track of important appointments and commitments.
Gantt Charts
One of the most popular ways to allocate specific blocks of time to the various tasks
in a project is a Gantt chart. A Gantt chart is a bar graph that indicates when a
specific task is to begin and how long it will take to complete that task.
As an example, suppose we have a time constraint of one year to solve the
problem and we need to allocate time to each of the five building blocks of
the problem-solving process. January, February, and March will be spent working
on problem definition; April and May will be devoted to generating solutions. We
suggest that time be allocated to evaluate our progress at four points along the way
to check that all criteria have been fulfilled: (1) after completion of the definition of
the problem, (2) after deciding the course of action, (3) during the implementation,
and (4) at the end of the project.
A Gantt Chart
In the Gantt chart, note that at least 25 % of the time has been devoted to the
problem definition process, which includes the four steps of gathering information
discussed in Chapter 4. Many-if not most--of the unfortunate consequences of
the incorrectly defined problems discussed in Chapters 1 and 5 would not have
occurred if more time had been spent on defining the problem rather than hurrying
to implement a solution. Most experts agree that the project is halfway complete
once the real problem is defined, written down, and communicated.
Below is an example of the use of a Gantt chart for the development of a W.
No matter how hard we try, planning is not perfect, and sometimes .docxhenrymartin15260
No matter how hard we try, planning is not perfect, and sometimes plans fail. Typical reasons
include:
● Corporate goals are not understood at the lower organizational levels.
● Plans encompass too much in too little time.
● Financial estimates are poor.
● Plans are based on insufficient data.
● No attempt is being made to systematize the planning process.
● Planning is performed by a planning group.
● No one knows the ultimate objective.
● No one knows the staffing requirements.
● No one knows the major milestone dates, including written reports.
● Project estimates are best guesses, and are not based on standards or history.
● Not enough time has been given for proper estimating.
● No one has bothered to see if there will be personnel available with the necessary skills.
● People are not working toward the same specifications.
● People are consistently shuffled in and out of the project with little regard for
schedule.
Stopping Projects 549
Why do these situations occur? If corporate goals are not understood, it is because corporate
executives have been negligent in providing the necessary strategic information and
feedback. If a plan fails because of extreme optimism, then the responsibility lies with both
the project and line managers for not assessing risk. Project managers should ask the line
managers if the estimates are optimistic or pessimistic, and expect an honest answer.
Erroneous financial estimates are the responsibility of the line manager. If the project fails
because of a poor definition of the requirements, then the project manager is totally at fault.
Sometimes project plans fail because simple details are forgotten or overlooked.
Examples of this might be:
● Neglecting to tell a line manager early enough that the prototype is not ready and
that rescheduling is necessary.
● Neglecting to see if the line manager can still provide additional employees for the
next two weeks because it was possible to do so six months ago.
Sometimes plans fail because the project manager “bites off more than he can chew,”
and then something happens, such as his becoming ill. Many projects have failed because
the project manager was the only one who knew what was going on and then got sick.
11.20 STOPPING PROJECTS
There are always situations in which projects have to be stopped. Nine
reasons for stopping are:
● Final achievement of the objectives
● Poor initial planning and market prognosis
● A better alternative is found
● A change in the company interest and strategy
● Allocated time is exceeded
● Budgeted costs are exceeded
● Key people leave the organization
● Personal whims of management
● Problem too complex for the resources available
Today most of the reasons why projects are not completed on time and within cost are
behavioral rather than quantitative. They include:
● Poor morale
● Poor human relations
● Poor labor productivity
● No commitment by those involved in the project
The last item appears to be the cause of the first three ite.

It might seem everything there is to know about project management already exists. But The One-Page Project Manager is something different. It is about communicating with those who are not part of the project, both inside and outside the organization. This constituency includes: the board of directors, senior management, suppliers, customers, superiors and subordinates indirectly involved with the project or its outcome, and others.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
