Why we need Brain Snacks?
It is becoming increasingly clear that we need to re-think many aspects of how we manage projects or programmes. Many aspects influence the outcome of the projects or programmes and it requires competent and innovative project managers.
Take this opportunity to share proven practice, perceptions, project stories and examples with fellow project managers and others working in projects. Then set creative ideas to work for you.
Join us for a fun and discussion-filled morning on a journey through innovative ideas, PM concepts and applications linked with IPMA principles.
The topics for this month are:
Topic 1: Green Project Management
In this interactive workshop you will meet people who are active globally in incorporating Green Project Management in the project life cycle and who provide various inputs to individuals, companies, organisations and government on how to upgrade project managers’ skill, talent and competence. Following sustainability principles is the best approach when managing change. If you have already implemented green projects, learn how to get recognition globally.
Topic 2: World of Project Management
The project management discipline has a plethora of guidance: bodies of knowledge, competence baselines, national and international standards, organizational practices and procedures. How can a project manager deal with all of this information, especially when some of it is in conflict? In this presentation, we’ll demonstrate how each project management guidance document is similar to a geographical map. We’ll also show how viewing the various guidance documents as maps in an atlas will help you make better use of them.

The topics for this month are:
Topic 1: Back to Basics
In this session, we’ll cover the Top Ten things that every project manager should know about project management. These aren’t necessarily the most important things. Rather, they are the things that many project managers seem to forget or misunderstand. Our list of the Top Ten runs the gamut from what is the purpose of project management standards to how to make earned value work.
Topic 2: Ignorance is Risk
When managing or working on a project, what you don’t know *can* hurt you. In this presentation, we’ll cover 10 common misperceptions about project management ranging from the truth about variances and change requests (both should be sought out and celebrated!) to the reality of Brook’s Law (adding resources to a late project will not always make it later!).
