Regardless of whether they are quantitative or qualitative, when a project’s benefits are managed and realized, an organization ensures that the time, effort and monetary resources invested in projects have the greatest possible business return. Yet far too few organizations have an effective benefits realization management process in place. In fact, many have no benefits management plan at all and are missing an opportunity to understand what would help them increase their rate of project and overall strategic success.

Do you have cross-functional teams who can get to "done" for features? Too many organizations still organize by function or component. That makes it difficult for agile projects to succeed or an agile transition to stick. As an agile project manager, you can use the collaboration assumed by agile to help teams succeed. Teams don't just become self-organized, cross-functional, happy teams. They have to work to get that way. In this talk, Johanna will help you understand some of the challenges teams face, and how agile practices help. She'll also help you understand some of the practices that don't help, such as multitasking and distributed teams.

Take a moment and picture the last time you led a project that involved change. How did it go? Did the plan you created and executed to perfection lead to changes in people that are still in place in your organization? Don’t cry…most of us would say “no.”

We know that a well-defined strategy is critical to an organization’s success. We also know that same strategy will be achieved through a series of projects and programs.  However, what happens when that same organization doesn’t develop the plan to prioritize, communicate or implement those projects? Craig explores the link between strategy and projects and the importance of having a plan to actually implement those projects. Without a good plan, your strategy is toast.

"It is an important and popular fact that things are not always what they seem. For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much -- the wheel, New York, wars and so on -- whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man -- for precisely the same reasons."
