Yet, despite the misuses and abuses of multitasking, and the call by some to ban it entirely, the fact remains that multitasking is here to stay. Time management has its place, but the challenge of today’s project manager is to take an active role in facilitating 'task management/ rather than simply demanding that individuals better manage their time.

If you have more than about five employees working on multiple projects or within many processes, it is time to start thinking about implementing time tracking. If you have 100 people in an R&D group and you’re not tracking time, you’re wasting the lives and work of a significant percentage of your employees. Odds are you have them working on projects that the market isn’t interested in, or that are over-budget or otherwise in the ditch -- and you don’t even know it. Hear real-world customer examples that describe how understanding project accounting costs saved these companies time and money, and instituted a more efficient data collection system overall.

Popular speaker and best-selling PM author Neal Whitten takes leadership and project management to a personal level by revealing leading-edge best practices that make all the difference between leading consistently successful projects and playing the victim with troubled projects. Focusing on leadership and soft skills, but including hard skills and life skills, this seminar reveals choices to make and behaviors to adopt that are invaluable in helping you become a successful project manager and leader. Based largely on his latest best-selling book, Neal Whitten’s No-Nonsense Advice for Successful Projects, Neal has collected practices from among his favorite and most effective — many learned too slowly and painfully. Adopting one can benefit your project; adopting many can benefit your career. It’s not about the ability of those around you to lead; it’s about your ability to lead, despite what is happening around you.

Today’s project manager needs contemporary Application Lifecycle Management that will provide visibility into key project performance indicators. We’ve all heard about IT development projects that fail to deliver. When they do fail, it’s typically a budget or schedule over-run. The project may also fail to deliver on the key project requirements. What about the quality of the delivered solution? Let’s face it. The project manager’s rudder can be small. An effective project manager needs accurate and timely project related information so that project course corrections can be made as soon as possible.

Many more projects are now ‘successful’ than in the early 1990’s, thanks to the increased emphasis upon sound project management. However, many projects still ‘fail.’ What defines project ‘success’ and ‘failure’? Are there common attributes of successful projects? Are there common causes of failed projects? What exactly do we mean by ‘critical success factors’ and ‘critical failure factors’? What does the empirical evidence from the ‘real world’ tell us about them? This presentation will address these questions. Map Directions: North of LBJ, between Spring Valley & Beltline Road |

NOTE THE NEW DATE FOR THE FEBRUARY MEETING! IT IS ON THE 3RD THURSDAY RATHER THAN THE USUAL DATE. Formal Project Management (PM) has existed for some time, and has matured a great deal. So, why doesn�t management and particularly senior management show more interest? If PM had the same respect that other disciplines do, then organizations would have a CPO position: Chief Project Officer. The fact that the other CxOs, even CIOs, are firmly established, says something about how companies view (or don't view) project management. Yet, everyone in the PM field instinctively knows there is real value in managing organization change through projects. So, what can we do? Join Elizabeth Larson, PMP, CBAP of Watermark Learning, Inc., to find out! Thanks to Watermark Learning (www.watermarklearning.com) for sponsoring this meeting!
