Chapter Event

Whether you have a new project just getting started or a project that is already in progress but could use a boost, join us to learn about creating Project Hype! Hype is important for team energy, for communicating to external customers, and for selecting team members. This session will talk about what hype is – how to create it – and where/when to use it. Get excited and get ready to infuse your projects with some hype!

One of the more powerful tools we have as project managers is defining roles and responsibilities. In this session, we are going to discuss what this tool can look like – what pitfalls we can avoid by using it – and how to navigate your organizations with these “temporary titles.” This session will be a good prep session for April, as well!

Now that we have talked through the power of clearly defined roles and responsibilities, let’s take a look at a very specific project role: the product owner. Join us for a clear description of this critical role, how to select a good one, and how to coach new owners into their leadership role.

With the need to send employees home to work, the work-from-home movement got a huge boost. What we have found in the board room is a split of three-quarters of the companies are adopting a work from home or a hybrid model. To add to the concern/challenge, there is an additional pressure of the lack of workforce availability and “personal currency” changes in the workforce. To make this move, a change in management style and philosophy has had to take place. That change is not relative to what work has to be done, but how to measure the work product and find milestones for measurement. In English, “don’t worry about how much time is spent “working” and concentrate on production and results.”

So how does this affect Project Management professionals? Project work products now need to be broken down into processes and projects with timelines and deadlines. Yes, it sounds like piece work, but it has been astonishing to learn how much waste is being found in time and money when accounting functions were taken apart.

This course provides an opportunity to earn 3 PDUs in half day.

This month, we encourage attendees to join us after listening to this PMI Center Stage Podcast. Together, we will discuss the podcast and come up with some actionable things we can do to help our organizations transform through the power of networks. The prep work is just 30 minutes!
