Webinar. The Resilient Project II: Putting the principles in practice

Using the new addition to the standard PMBOK earned-value indexes—the Staffing to Schedule Factor (StSF) - lets the busy project manager correct course quickly and accurately. See how the corrected response can work on projects as small as a two-week Agile iteration or as large as a two-year DOD contract.

The webinar will review the “Resilient Project I” from the June Meeting:

- using labor units to talk about value for scope, schedule, and cost

- updating the project’s status with a 5-minute, stand-up meeting

- the three distinct responses to a troubled project’s status report

- the powerful new Staffing to Schedule Factor (StSF) (and an improved TCPI)

- connecting simplified assumptions to the real world

The webinar will focus on:

- traditional earned value and an improved TCPI

- correcting two mistakes in the PMBOK Guide (5^th and  6^th editions)

- discussing how Agile fits in

- the three distinct responses to a troubled project’s status report

- using the Resilient spreadsheet

- further details on the powerful new Staffing to Schedule Factor (StSF)

- solving the following new quiz problem!

Your client wants the project done on time with full scope and will pay for it. The project plan calls for 100 staff-months of work to be completed by 10 professionals working full-time for 10 months. At the end of 8 months, the original team has worked 85 staff-months and completed 75 staff-months of planned work. How much additional staff do you request for month 9? (Fractional [part-time] staff is allowed.)

[This program is especially suited to PMP audiences who are familiar with the basic concepts of earned value management, yet find it difficult to use.]

A copy of a handy spreadsheet tool, RESILIENT, will be made available to everyone who participates.
