<p> <b>Uncovering and negating the hurdles in ICT project and program management to delivery successfully!</b><br><br>Encountering challenges and hurdles in the delivery of ICT projects and programs is predictable! However, what might these be and what do we need to do when we meet them? <br><br>The ACS is sponsoring a Special Interest Group (SIG) for practitioners interested in the successful delivery of ICT Project and Program Management. These sessions are interactive and provide an avenue for practitioners to meet and share information, that extends the methodologies. The SIG will be led by highly experienced practitioners to facilitate learning and the sharing experiences. <br><br><b>The third session for 2017 will cover:</b></p> <ul><li><b>The Art, Science and Secret Sauce of better Estimating and Scope Management for Projects and Programs</b><br> An illuminating and thought provoking look at some key concepts that we have all experienced in our careers. Scope Management and Estimating, two critical components for successful projects will be examined in the quest to unlock project success. We will ask ourselves and you, the audience, WHY do we launch projects in the first instance, WHAT are we trying to achieve and to WHOM do we serve? </li></ul> <div style="margin-left: 40px;">This discussion will be delivered with an interesting twist. We will look at the opportunity from at least two dimensions - the Art and Science of the tasks to be performed and from at least two discipline perspectives – the Project Manager, the Business Analyst as well as an evolving ‘new’ delivery leadership role.<br><br>We will look at what the literature says and we will help you form a view that highlights the pressures and tensions that drive the two+ delivery disciplines apart and the paradox elements that bring us together as delivery professionals….all tied together with the art and science dimensions. </div> <p> </p> <p><b>The following sessions for the remainder of the year will be:</b></p> <ul><li><b>19 June 2017</b></li><li>Effective Governance and Sponsorship</li><li><b>17 July 2017</b></li><li>Stakeholder Participation and Communication at every level</li><li><b>21 August 2017</b></li><li>Creating High Performing Teams</li><li><b>18 September 2017</b></li><li>Change Management and why does Cultural and Ethical Alignment matter?</li><li><b>16 October 2017</b></li><li>Procuring the right vendor and product</li><li><b>20 November 2017</b></li><li>Measuring Adoption Program Project Success</li></ul> <p><br>As a member these sessions will cost $20 per session.
