Project Managers need to continuously develop their knowledge skills and attitudes to effectively perform their roles and be successful. Do we as project managers know where we stand? In terms of capabilities and competencies? Further do our organizations follow the necessary processes and have the systems and framework to meet project objectives? These are some of the questions that this webinar will seek to answer. In particular it will look at the following: • Overview of PMI Standards focused on process and capability improvement • Methods for assessments to know where we are for people and organizations • Gap analysis of capabilities with respect to standards • Methods and projects for improving project managers and the organizations • Capabilities and competencies required to implement the improvement plans
As the number of projects in organizations skyrocket, understanding project fundamentals and fostering project management skills have become essential. Leaders have too many projects with too little visibility into them, and they lack the project oversight and delivery competencies to untangle them. In a recent survey with Harvard Business Review, we wanted to look at the current challenges faced by senior leaders when dealing with projects and project management, as well as their expectations for the future. The results, combined with other case studies, will help us better understand how organizations are using projects now, where they are finding success with projects, and where they are struggling. The session will help project managers translate their hands-on know-how up to the leader’s-eye view.

Question: I understand that the organization needs to get team products and services to the customers to make a profit.

Project managers are getting younger, and it’s not just because the rest of us are getting older. Is it problematic to have less experienced PMs? How do we expect younger and less experienced employees to gain that experience and understanding?
Trying to be all things to all projects in all situations at all levels of complexity results in the needs of no one actually being addressed, and many being massively inconvenienced. What starts as big and complex simply gets worse over time. But there is a different and better way.
