Speaker/Facilitator: Doug Boebinger, PMP

The “PM Soup” Workshop will provide a recipe of PM ingredients designed to set you up for project management success.

Poor Man’s Approach to Monte Carlo
Monte Carlo answers one “simple” question – “what is the probability of success of your project plan meeting, its schedule and cost goals?”  To do full Monte Carlo on a project is time and cost prohibitive.  However, the “Poor Man’s Approach…” looks at a “Pareto” approach to the problem – get 80% of the benefit with 20% of the effort.  The presentation will walk through a simplified approach that yields results that can be used in your final project planning.  And there is a dice game pitting teams against each other to solidify the Poor Man’s Approach to Monte Carlo concepts.

Emotional Intelligence
How well do you identify and control your emotions and how well do you understand other people’s emotions?  This presentation explores the third part of a successful leader – Emotional Capability.  Technical skills and intellectual capability take you only so far to success.  People who master Emotional Intelligence tend to be more successful than those who don’t.

Re-Draw The Map
Re-Draw The Map is an exercise in understanding requirements, quality criteria and risk. A fun filled twist on the cause and effect of some of the most common problems on projects.  The presentation starts with an interactive game to demonstrate the basics needs when determining project requirements, quality criteria and risks.  This gets people out of their seats from the start.

Negotiation
Nobody likes negotiation, but we have to do it.  Nobody likes to buy a car mainly due to the negotiation that is inevitable.  This presentation looks at the traditional methods used in negotiation – hard vs soft and then proposed a better way:  principled negotiation.  Principled negotiation looks at a way to negotiate to solve the problem as opposed to win the battle.  During the presentation, teams of two will get a chance to practice principled negotiation with an opposing team in a mock negotiation exercise.

The Black Swan
This presentation explores the concept of Risk Management dealing with very high impact, very low probability risks known as “Black Swans.”  These risk events, when they happen (not if they happen), change the world – and not always for the good.  The question is, do you know how to deal with the impact of the highly improbable risks known as “The Black Swan”.
