The Five Principles
1. Programme goals are clearly and continuously
aligned to business strategy
2. Benefits are realised incrementally and as early as
possible
3. Governance focusses on creating a coherent
capability
4. Decision-making powers are delegated to the lowest
possible level
5. Agile programmes are iterative and have the ability
to contain both agile and non-agile projects

The teenage years can be a tough time, whether you are parenting a child or trying to mature a PMO. In both cases, we find insecure and anxious creatures navigating their way through life, trying to make sense of the world and to assert their independence. Maturity is a journey and PMOs should not try to run before they know how to crawl. However, while there are some well-known organisational project management maturity models, such as CMMi® or P3M3®, there is no model specific to assist PMOs in progressing their maturity. With a thought-provoking approach, this workshop will introduce you to the brand new Wellingtone PMO Maturity Assessment Model, demystify conventional assumptions relating to PMO maturity, and provide you with tips and hints for transitioning your PMO from the moody level 2 to the uncharted land of level 3 and 4, where mature PMOs live.

The reality is that a paradigm shift is needed to enable the Agile PMO to deliver the correct support and provide an acceptable level of guidance for project managers in a collaborative and co-operative approach. This will result in the ability to work with the project and business teams to fast track projects through to delivery while ensuring that the components of the triple constraints evolves into a managed agile enterprise project and programme environment.

The Agile PMO - practical value driven change leadership in projects and portfolios Conclusive research findings show that approximately %50 of PMOs are disbanded in two years. Yet, we repeat the same mistakes in our PMO implementations – wasting money, resources and most important – wasting time. In this presentation we focus on the value driven PMO as an integrator, enabler, differentiator, and change agent in business, development and the organization in general. We analyze the essential model for PMO value enablement which answers: • What is the strategic role of the value driven PMO in business; • How to ensure effective streamlined delivery; • How to effectively select and prioritize opportunities; • How to manage resource allocation. Key take away – a PMO must deliver value to the organization constantly. Value isn’t templates, tools and processes rather it is the ability to finish the right projects faster!

Mary Henson (CEO of the DSDM consortium) introduced Dr. Islam Choudhury (Ass. Professor Kingston University) who then explained the ‘DSDM’ project framework. DSDM has a venerable pedigree, pre-dating the Agile Manifesto by many years. Recently it has been recognised as a useful project and framework, and Islam explained how it can provide a project layer around team level methods such as Scrum.

What is Program Management - An Overview

Yolanda Williams

Large enterprises that develop software cannot function without structure, but often develop structures that cripple productivity and impair responsiveness to customer needs. This Webinar introduces an approach to building effective structures by introducing the concept of Agile governance. Agile governance provides formalized practices for decision making (governance) which incorporate the principles of the Agile Manifesto and Lean Engineering. The result is a set of simple recipes for selecting, planning, organizing, and tracking work at all levels in the organization (the Portfolio, Program, and Project levels), which apply within or across Business Units. We also provide guidance on how to develop new recipes, when needed. This webinar introduces the basic concepts of Agile governance. We will look at some existing concepts (such as Scrum of Scrums and SAFe), and lay the foundations for subsequent webinars that address specific scenarios of common interest.

Agile is simple to understand but difficult to implement, hard to master and mind-boggling when trying to scale! This is because many organisations start implementing Agile in a cultural context that is mostly non-Agile. This creates a significant number of tensions and frictions that the teams adopting Agile have to deal with although they are often not fully aware of them. This presentation discusses why implement Agile and what is Agile, it also talks about how to scale from a single team to multiple teams and the impact on organisational culture.

Famed business author Peter Drucker said, “Effective leadership is not about making speeches or being liked; leadership is defined by results, not attributes.” And since Lean Six Sigma is about getting results, the role of the leader in successful process improvement is key. Without the proper support, teams struggle or fail. In order to build a robust culture of problem solvers, leaders must be clear on their part in the process. Tune in to this 1-hour leadership webinar for a quick, concentrated look at what it takes to be a great process improvement leader.

APM event hosted by the Midlands Network on 11 April 2024. Speaker: Carole Osterweil Data is power. AI changes everything. If the claims about both are true, how can we ensure we use data and AI well? And what does it mean for the very things which make us human - our feelings? In this workshop Carole will draw on material from her ground-breaking book, Neuroscience for Project Success: why people behave as they do to answer both questions. “We like to think our decision making is completely rational. However, once there's an element of uncertainty, conscious assessments are only part of the story. Two other inputs, both subconscious and driven by our innate need to survive, have a big impact. One, automatic reactions driven by cognitive biases, gets plenty of airtime. The other input, our raw visceral emotions might be scary to talk about and less understood - but that’s not a reason to pretend they don’t exist!” This interactive workshop will draw on material from Carole’s book, Neuroscience for Project Success: why people behave as they do, published by APM in 2022. You’ll come away with: a clear understanding of how the human brain works. a framework that: explains ‘why people behave as they do’. makes it easier to talk about feelings in a matter-of-fact way (so that they become part of your conscious data set) new insights into yourself and your projects in a world that’s often characterised by stress and disorder. Act on these insights and you’ll see the impact - on your teams and stakeholders, your decisions about how to use data and AI, and ultimately your project outcomes.

If AI changes everything – do feelings still matter?

Advancements that feel relatively recent are already becoming embedded into business-as-usual activity. AI is one such advancement; it is already being used and having real-world impacts across the project profession. To help P3M professionals understand the implications of this change, APM invited representatives from organisations that have introduced or are preparing to introduce AI into their project workstreams, to explain their approach and share their insight with fellow professionals. This webinar on explored how AI is currently being used in project and programme management, and how organisations are gearing up for its adoption.

Kai-Fu Lee predicted that AI would change the world more than anything in the history of humanity – even electricity. It would disrupt how we live and work, how we operate our businesses, the core products and services on offer and the way in which we build technology. However, in 2024 the impact of AI can no longer be discussed in future tense. With Microsoft copilot now publicly available, the change is already upon us. There is no consultation period or ‘unsubscribe’ button. Project management professionals are likely to be asked to manage AI projects - and we are expected to skilfully use AI in our daily work lives. While overwhelming, this is not the first time we’ve had to adapt. Sarah helps her audience sharpen their cutting-edge skills by answering: What do I need to know about AI right now? If I’m asked to work on an AI project, what techniques do I need to be successful? Where do I start my own learning journey to upskill and prepare? Sarah’s expertise in advanced agile and experience in highly regulated Finance environments give her a unique perspective into balancing governance with technical innovation. She uses her own experience building an AI solution in 2023 to share practical, widely applicable concepts in an “AI for project managers” 101 style session.
