This document discusses Critical Chain project management and its advantages over traditional Critical Path Method (CPM) scheduling. It begins by posing several paradigm questions that highlight limitations of CPM, such as how it does not account for variation, resource conflicts, uncertainty, or multi-project environments. The document then summarizes research showing Critical Chain typically reduces project schedules by 15-40% and increases on-time delivery to 93% across 80 case studies. Finally, it outlines the three levels at which Critical Chain operates - philosophical, single-project, and multi-project - as well as the key differences between its approach and traditional CPM scheduling.
Stop multiplying by 4: Practical Software EstimationChuck Reeves
Many developers are often asked by project owners to give time estimates for features or bug fixes. But how many developers have the ability to provide project owners a reasonable estimate? Many developers will just follow irrational formulas or arbitrary methods to create a number that is not only wrong, but costly. "Stop Multiplying by 4" will teach developers of all skill levels easy techniques to provide accurate estimations. We will start with a small calibration exercise to find out how good you are. We will then go over procedures to improve accuracy . At the end of the talk, you will possess the skills to get you started on improving the certainty of your estimates.
CYCLE TIME ANALYTICS: RELIABLE #NOESTIMATES FORECASTING USING DATA, TROY MAGE...Lean Kanban Central Europe
If you are struggling to forecast project delivery dates and cost, or you want to eliminate the story estimation process because you feel it is waste, or you need to build the business case for hiring more staff, then this session is relevant to you. All estimates have uncertainty, and understanding how multiple uncertain factors compound is the first step to improving project and team predictability. A major benefit of Lean is the low weight capture of cycle time metrics. This session looks at how to use historical cycle time data to answer questions of forecasting and staff skill balancing. This session compares the benefits of using cycle time for analysis over current planning techniques such as velocity, burn-down charts, and cumulative flow diagrams. This session takes you on a journey of what to do after capturing cycle time data or what to do if you have no history to rely upon. Reducing reliance on developer estimation (popularized by the twitter hashtag of #NoEstimates movement) is good general advice, having the tools to plan and manage teams and projects is still important to maintain support at the executive level. This session details the approaches to getting the numbers you need to have whilst minimizing un-necesary overhead and estimating ONLY this factors that matter most.

The Future of Oilsands Projects – Productivity Improvement & the Role o...Nick Anderson
Mobilizing armies of skilled labor from diverse locations and cultures, moving large equipment into remote locations in harsh climatic conditions and managing to budgets while costs are escalating make oil sands projects among the most challenging ever undertaken. Perhaps the most critical success factor in managing such complex projects is establishing and developing productive relationships. This key factor is very difficult to measure yet is cited repeatedly as the
number one reason for project failure. Consistently, project managers’ expectations of, colleagues, teams, subcontractors, workers and project partners are substantially different from what they actually think is expected of them. Such misalignments result in expected tasks not being completed in the way required for project success, tasks being completed in a sub-optimal sequence or excessive time invested on “low return” tasks.
These misalignments cascade into scheduling conflicts, delays, cost overruns, personnel turnover, increased stress, safety and legal issues.
The take-away: New methods have been developed for the gathering and analysing of expectations from both the expectation originator’s and expectation receiver’s point of view. This enables the diagnosis of misalignments critical to project success, and facilitates the timely conversations required to align expectations and to keep projects on track before they become critical variables. Resource and competency gaps are exposed and addressed. High achieving managers can be identified. A culture of communication, alignment and accountability can be measured and developed.

IT Installation of the Adelphi Veterinary Clinic
Date Issued: June 28, 2015
Project Name: Adelphi Veterinary Clinic IT Installation Project Charter
Project Sponsor: President, University of Maryland - University College
Project Context & Background:
The clinic recently received a monetary grant from UMUC for its first computers and Internet connectivity. The veterinarian clinic is an organization that consists of ten vets, seven animal technicians, and five receptions. The clinic is housed in a single building with a second/adjacent building for animal boarding and long-term care. Each vet had his/her office, and there are eight examination rooms, 3 operating rooms, and three diagnostic rooms for x-rays and tests.
Project objectives:
Team PMP will work together to innovate and incorporate information technology for the Adelphi Veterinary Clinic at the University of Maryland University College. By utilizing Information Technology, the clinic will increase productivity and improve operational efficiency through:
a) Availability – A system that can be trusted to work when needed.
b) Reliability – A system that consistently performs to meet organizational needs.
c) Scalability – A system that will accommodate growth.
d) Supportability – A reasonably priced system that support the organization’s operational needs throughout its entire lifecycle.
e) Serviceability – A system that incorporates long-term preventive maintenance at an affordable cost. (Westland, 2010)
Project Scope:
Methodology/Approach - Team PMP will contact with Apple, Dell, and Gateway and perform price comparisons, thus maximizing the budget and determining who will give us the most quality IT products at an affordable price.
Includes - This will include desktops, laptops, and any other portable electronic devices for all staff members. Renovation of a large office and building for the installation of IT products for the clinic, developing comprehensive space for the network infrastructures (primarily for network connectivity)
Excludes - Project will retire once the IT system is completed, and training is provided. There will be no long-term installations and training provided unless negotiated.
Success Criteria - Achieving and exceeding customer satisfaction through the quality of work performed by Team PMP. From planning and execution, to follow up training, Team PMP wants to make this process the best renovation experience for the clinic staff and its patrons.

Reduce Release Cycle Time: Nine Months to a Week - Nice!TechWell
Picture this scene from three years ago: Employing the corporately mandated processes, a software engineering team is delivering system updates about once every nine months. When their senior user suddenly demands the next delivery in twenty-two weeks-half the current cycle duration-the team realize that they must quickly change development practices. Mathew Bissett describes how Her Majesty's Government did precisely that-and much, much more. First, they reduced delivery cycles from unpredictable dates every nine months to predictable releases every six weeks. Then, they cut releases cycle time to once every week. By identifying and mitigating risks early in the work intake process, enforcing quality gates, executing multiple test levels concurrently-and more-they dramatically increased throughput with the same or better quality. Today, these new processes provide their teams the best balance of structure versus agility. Join Mathew to see if what works for Her Majesty's Government might just work for you and your company.

In the Adani-Hindenburg case, what is SEBI investigating.pptxAdani case
Adani SEBI investigation revealed that the latter had sought information from five foreign jurisdictions concerning the holdings of the firm’s foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) in relation to the alleged violations of the MPS Regulations. Nevertheless, the economic interest of the twelve FPIs based in tax haven jurisdictions still needs to be determined. The Adani Group firms classed these FPIs as public shareholders. According to Hindenburg, FPIs were used to get around regulatory standards.
