Drew CraigSr. Agile & Product Coach| VanguardPhiladelphia, Pa, United States
Today is the day! PMI's 2017 Scheduling Conference. Please share your expectations and experiences.
Favorite session? Speaker? Any take-away's you found to be, or potentially be, the most valuable?
Sessions: - Building a Scheduling Center of Excellence in the PMO, Michelle Colodzin Gunsher, PMP, PMI-SP - How to Achieve More Accurate Project Schedules in the Future, Joe Lukas, PMP - Agile Scheduling with Rolling Wave Deliverable Roadmaps and Backlogs, Johanna Rothman - CPM vs. Agile Scheduling and Emerging Trends, Brian Evans, PMP, PMI-SP, PMI-RMP - Project Controls Using Integrated Data – The Opportunities and Challenges, Patrick Weaver, PMP, PMI-SP
All great and relevant topics. Kudos to PMI for putting together such an event.
Vincent, I second your comment. The one thing missing for me was greater emphasis on having a good quality plan - resource loaded - before a projects progresses through to the next phase; particularly where significant funding and internal resource will be committed.
Your right, hope they add it to the next PMI Scheduling Conference Saving Changes...
At this point, my favorites and more useful at a personal level were the keynote and How to Achieve More Accurate Project Schedules in the Future, Joe Lukas, PMP.
Let's see next ones!

I missed some of the 'Agile Scheduling with Rolling Wave Deliverable Roadmaps and Backlogs' while taking a call - of course, right, one of the ones I had more interest in. I'll have to revisit it.

Mentioned resource at the end of Brian Evans' presentation (CPM vs. Agile Scheduling and Emerging Trends). There were a couple others, but I did not get them in time. I plan to reach out to Brian to get the ones I missed.

It seems to me that the PMI needs to justify the need for the scheduling certification. Do you really think that we need a conference about scheduling? Do you really think that it is a complex item to justify an 8 hs. conference? In my humble opinion, when we talk about something thatn scheduling at this level do not contribute to our profession.

A good challenge, however planning is critical to project success, so good project schedules are necessary for effective decision making - which includes chosing the right project and then doing the project right.

I think we need conference on all knowledge area. There is people knowledgable in some area that can benefit learning of other knowledge. Schedule is one, but we should have such conference on Procurement, Risk, communication and many other.
It should cover low level of knowledge to higher level.
