Description
Estimation is half art, half science, and half magic. (See what I did there?) However it adds up, it’s a trap for the unwary that can make or break projects, careers, even entire businesses. The Standish CHAOS report has consistently shown over the years that barely a third of projects are considered successful, and “success” is often redefined only after the project ends. In other words, apparently estimation is almost impossible. But it’s not!
The thing is, just like going to the gym, you can’t just estimate once and expect perfection. So, in our session, we’ll look not only at estimation techniques, but also at the traps and how to avoid them, and the underlying theories, factors, and praxis of high value estimation. You’ll learn proven techniques that make estimation orders of magnitude more useful than just a numbers game. You’ll come away knowing how estimation can develop your strength, flexibility, and fitness as super-competent project manager.Women in Project Management Forum - Jul 2021

PM Insights Foster City Virtual Meeting: Igniting Behavior Change Thru Technology in the New Normal
PM Insights Foster City -
Igniting Behavior Change Thru Technology
in the New Normal
The events of the past year have created a change in the competencies and behaviors necessary for professionals to succeed and is the starting point for a wider paradigm shift on how we train employees. More than 120 million workers in the world’s 12 largest economies need to be upskilled in the next 3 years. Micro-competencies like authenticity, vulnerability, inclusivity and agility will become even more important than functional experience or fancy academic degrees. Those competencies require learning delivery that involves more than rote memorization and digital quizzes. In addition, technology exists now to address individual learning styles. In other words, technology can adjust to people rather than the other way around. We invite you to imagine, what if you could learn how to switch off unwanted behaviors or habits and become your ideal self with minimal effort? Although habit change has been nearly impossible historically, today, new developments in AI and technology are making it possible for learning to adapt individuals’ behaviors, making learning both fun and creative. We invite you to join us and explore how ‘real time’ learning through technology support and just in time messaging is replacing traditional classroom training.
