In an era where Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly commoditizing technical logic and data processing, Emotional Intelligence (EI) has evolved from a workplace advantage into the definitive "Human Edge."
This webinar explores the critical, yet often overlooked, intersection of human cognitive bias and artificial intelligence in modern project management. While cognitive biases—those systematic errors in thinking that affect our decisions—are not new to project professionals, the rise of AI, particularly generative AI, has amplified their impact. When AI systems are trained on biased data or developed with biased assumptions, they can automate and scale these errors, leading to flawed forecasts, resource misallocation, and project failures. In generative AI projects, this bias can manifest as misrepresentations, hallucinations, or unethical outputs, directly impacting the quality and reliability of the final product.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are ways of measuring and monitoring project health. This template provides structure to outlining and articulating measures. It is the means of defining the KPIs that will be used, how they will be measured, and how they should be interpreted.
This project charter includes sections for allocating phase owners and tasks; timelines; budget/resource allocation; and cost estimation. Adapt it to fit your project.
The Project Canvas framework, which covers the basic principles and fundamentals of projects that everyone should know, is practical and easy to implement. It is a proven tool that will assist you in leading projects more successfully and in making your dreams a reality.
Use this Go/No Go production readiness checklist to assess if your organization is prepared to deploy an application. This spreadsheet aims for a composite or holistic view between the business and technical aspects of an application deployment. There are 36 questions in nine categories to respond "yes" or "no" to, with self-adjustable weighting and a final score.
Test-driven development is an important part of ensuring that software can be effectively evaluated before it is deployed to embedded systems. Program managers must be prepared to accommodate additional test time—and champion the creation and maintenance of custom test platforms and tools.
Many organizations are migrating their data center infrastructure to the cloud. And given the ubiquitous nature of cloud computing, they like the idea of hiring people who have some idea of what it is. For PM professionals, training or even a certification in cloud computing can be a rewarding career path.
When digital transformation has been fully implemented, what happens to our IT departments? You might not like the answer.
A simple tool can be applied by any individual, team, organization or country. The framework, which covers the basic principles and fundamentals of projects that everyone should know, is practical and easy to implement—a proven tool that will assist you in leading projects more successfully and in making your dreams a reality.
Modern software development can always be in the moment, developing the best possible software for today. But is that good enough to succeed? Continuous delivery is going to gain traction and become an important part of how projects get delivered—but it only helps if it delivers business value.
When project management and corporate governance join forces, organizations can boost efficiency and maximize growth opportunities. A fully engaged IT project management office will assist senior managers in the prioritization of the best ROI and strategic projects and make certain that IT projects deliver what’s expected.
Project leaders need to know where to focus their attention and teams at all times or they risk higher costs, missed deadlines and unhappy stakeholders. Ruthless prioritization keeps the things that would be nice to do from getting in the way of the work that matters most.
In most IT circles, the mere suggestion of marrying agile and waterfall application development models into a seamless hybrid would be scoffed at. But there is merit to the concept.
Given the strength and wide adoption of the COBIT framework, can it be adapted and modified to address sustainability issues in IT-based projects?
For 2019, the expectation of the CEO and their leadership team will be that the CIO demonstrates decisive leadership, momentum and innovation that drive value to both the top and bottom lines.
Many organizations began their PMO journey in IT, but the traditional IT PMO is changing significantly. What does that mean for those PMOs, for IT and for organizations as a whole?
In the quest of software excellence, IT organizations try various approaches across different phases of an application's lifecycle. However, two areas that are often neglected are requirements management and testing.
What are some of the fundamental building blocks required in software projects? Things that can help position teams to adapt to changes quickly (including implementing the latest tech trends) and ultimately add value to business?
Security foundations for a project should be strongly laid in the initiation phase, preferably when the project charter is created and signed to document all possible risks, threat vectors and security loopholes, and should include conceivable remediation measures. Internal, external and technology-related risk are examined in alignment with project management processes.
