Project Management is a well defined concept found in many guidebooks and Bodies of Knowledge. Putting these guides and BOK’s to work for the benefit of the enterprise is the role of Project Governance
A Balanced Scorecard approach of step-wise refinement
from Vision to Implementation of projects can be achieved
by integrating the Balanced Scorecard approach with
Project Selection Process. This will increase the quality of
the project portfolio and improve the confidence of
business sponsors that their Investment in projects will
return benefits that they perceive to be of value.
https://www.wrike.com - Traditional project management (PM) meant big projects, strict hierarchy and top-down planning. Today it’s vital to be quickly adjustable hence bureaucracy yields to collaboration. Smaller projects take fewer resources yet work out better than big ones. Successful teams turn out to be more productive via blogs, wikis and collaboration tools. Find out how you can upgrade your PM practices to 2.0.

A full course I developed based on about ten years of experience in project management in IT projects in the Netherlands and non-profit media projects in Kenya.
This series of presentations was given on 15th May as part of the APM PMO SIG's 1 day conference entitled 'PMO in Practice'. This conference sought to demonstrate how PMO people have taken theory and implemented it in their organisations.
The APM PMO SIG designed this conference to cover the following topics:
Benefits management
Demonstrating the value of PMO
Project definition
Developing PMO maturity
During the day each speaker discussed their personal experience in implementing a specific function or service and give delegates practical tips and advice that they can take to their own PMO organisation.
Speakers on the day were:
Stuart Dixon, APM PMO SIG chair (at the time)
Emma Arnaz-Pemberton, EU PMO Manager Office Depot (now the PMO SIG's new chair)
Huw James, Head of Programme Management at Network Rail
Chris Mills, Managing Consultant for BMT Hi-Q Sigma Ltd

This was a presentation I built and delivered for an annual Project Management Symposium in 2009. I borrowed heavily from a presentation I did in 2008 at the SAPPHIRE convention in Orlando, but I changed up the stories a bit and linked into some great content by Penelope Sue Greenberg, Ralph H. Greenberg, Yvonne Lederer Antonucci from the Kelly School of Business 2007 titled “Creating & Sustaining Trust in Virtual teams”.

From Learning Tree International's workshop at Showcase Ontario 2011.
This presentation will provide information on defining clear Project goals & cover these 5 objectives:
Why we need clear project goals
The project life cycle
Goal statement and deliverables
Planning and managing implementation
Smooth project closure
Project Cost Management includes the processes involved in planning, estimating, budgeting, and controlling costs so that the project can be completed within the approved budget.
I created this presentation based on a similar presentation I found on SHRM’s website to teach an in-house seminar on goal setting.
Note: near the end of the presentation there appears to be a random slide of a Ford Pinto advertisement. I used it as a spring board into how the Ford Pinto story showcases goal setting gone bad. The story was completely oral, so…sorry, you had to be there.
This material is intended to provide project leaders with a foundational understanding of leading practice project management processes, activities, tools, techniques, and deliverables as prescribed the Project Management Institute (PMI).

Using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to Select and Prioritize Project...Ricardo Viana Vargas
The objective of this paper is to present, discuss and apply the principles and techniques of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) in the prioritization and selection of projects in a portfolio. AHP is one of the main mathematical models currently available to support the decision theory.
Presented to IIBA professional development day on Oct 26, 2017.
Take responsibility for gathering feedback and improving, fopr without t you will be a victim to the future.
This slide deck accompanies a workshop I ran at Agile India in March 2017. The majority of the audience were scrummasters, agile coaches, team managers etc.
It leans on the Heart of Agile meme.
The workshop focused on two activities;
1. thinking about better than best practices so that we can escape the tyranny of other people's patterns.
2. Getting people to reflect on the experience of telling/being told versus collaborating on a problem.
Collaboration: Cockburn's Dance of Contribution in a WorkshopCraig Brown
This is a presentation which accompanies a workshop on Alistair's "Collaboration; The dance of Contribution" article.
You can read the article here: http://alistair.cockburn.us/Collaboration%3A+the+dance+of+contribution
The workshop includes two games as well as a description of what leadership behaviours matter when you move from a compliant or merely co-operative culture to a collaborative one.
We ran a lunchtime session talking about values and how they underpin the way we work.
The session closed out with a whiteboard exercise which is described on the last page of this deck.
If you use this I'd appreciate your sharing your experiences and feedback via the comments or by email.
Thanks!
Requirements = Scope, BA World Bengaluru 2011Craig Brown
In May 2011 I presented this discussion of why project scope is driven by requirements, how requirements change is inevitable, and how that makes good project estimates very difficult.
I then present one useful technique for managing this challenge.
I gave this to the Melbourne Scrum Users Group. It was an interesting group with a few experience scrum users and many inexperienced people via the ACS, so the talk had to accommodate some Scrum 101 stuff, and went longer than planned with me talking for a bit over an hour.
In the end it went well, and I hope I get some feedback from the audience via the meetup site and ACS website.

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!
