Projects take too long. And if you are not doing software development, Agile methodologies may be hard to adapt. Or, you are doing software development and must use Waterfall. How can you be Agile?

CBPM is a methodology developed at Intel Corporation to manage their semiconductor projects. Since then, it has been applied in multiple domains, from Waterfall software development to construction, medical devices, defense projects, IT infrastructure, and many others. It is a domain-agnostic Agile process, which allows the project manager to be Agile in any effort. In an Agile fashion, teams plan and monitor projects, ensuring that there are no surprises while being able to quickly adapt to changes. A very Agile approach.

Design Thinking for
Sustainable Project Management

Project managers are magical beasts.  You tell them exactly what you want done, and they will make it happen.  But what happens when we want a better, more sustainable world, but we have no idea what our end state looks like?  We want to do the right thing, and we’re questioning long-standing assumptions.  How can we come up with a new approach, a new mindset, a new way of thinking to solve the problems it took decades to create?  We need to expand our toolset to create a more sustainable world.  In this session, we will learn the fundamentals of design thinking, and learn how to apply those to transform our way of thinking about project and portfolio management.
