Podcasts about project managment

Host Kendall Lott, along with guests Galen Lowe and Mike Hannon, discuss the evolving role of project managers (PMs) in the age of AI, emphasizing the need for PMs to adapt to stay relevant. While AI can handle routine administrative tasks, it cannot replace the strategic thinking, human relationship-building, and ethical decision-making that PMs provide. The conversation highlights the importance of shifting from task management to a strategic focus, where PMs are seen as leaders who drive business value. We like the right training, as we need more strategic thinking, business context, and ROI understanding. Effective PMs must bridge the gap between executive vision and project execution, fostering collaboration and communication to align projects with broader organizational goals. In the face of AI tools, which of course we should incorporate in our work, PMs need to be  ambassadors for their discipline in an increasingly automated world.

Welcome to Parallel Project Training Podcast My name's Paul Naybour and welcome to another Parallel Project Training podcast. Today we're doing the PPQ and I'm really delighted that Thomas has decided to join us. Introducing the New PPQ Program Leader Tom O'Shea is going to be leading our PPQ programs from now on, and I've known Tom for many, many years. So, introduce yourself. Tom, tell people what you know about the PPQ and your involvement as a sort of PPQ assessor. Tom's Involvement in PPQ Yeah, certainly. So I've been involved in PPQ from the outset. I was actually involved in the previous version at this level, which was something called the PQ and that was a two-day assessment center. So fortunately, the PPQ is a little bit easier than that in that it's now just a half-day assessment in effect. But I've been involved from the beginning in the pilot, setting up the process and confirming or evaluating the structure of the assessment and have been undertaking assessments ever since. In addition to that, I also do some guidance and coaching of people through the process and how to present evidence, the kinds of things that are expected of a PPQ care assessment and the best way to prepare. Understanding the PPQ Fantastic. Fantastic. So you basically have seen the inside of how candidates do well and not so well and the hints and tips that they can use. So that's what we wanted to capture in this series of podcasts. I suppose we better explain what the PPQ is really. I see it as a bridge between the knowledge and understanding that you get in the project management qualification and that sort of advanced technical knowledge that you need to get your chartered status. So it provides a route to chartered. So I think that's why most people come on this program, that they're looking to work towards chartered status, I think. PPQ Versus PMQ Yes, indeed. Although the PPQ is, you know, recognized in itself and is something worth having, just as it almost is a standalone, if you like, to show that you have developed an advanced level of competence and capability in delivering projects. And I think that's the key thing that differentiates it from the PMQ that you mentioned. The PMQ is very much about knowledge. It's about learning some stuff, some theories, and techniques, and tools, and processes, and then being able to write theoretical answers to exam questions. PPQ is very much about application. So within the PPQ, you are expected to demonstrate to the assessors that you can actually run a project by applying your knowledge to the case study. So you have to approach this as a project manager, not as a student candidate in an exam. You have to approach this as if you are actually about to go into this organization or have just gone into this organization to deliver a project. Case Study Assessment Yes. So the assessment based on a case study, isn't it? Yes. So you get a case study four weeks before your assessment and you have to put yourself into the feet of the project manager who's coming in to run the case study. And most of them seem to be turnaround situations where the project has not been managed effectively. And you have to think about what steps and measures you would implement in order to bring that project back into control. Yeah. It's always going to be a situation that a project or projects are not being run well. There's no point in putting somebody into a situation where everything's perfect because all you do is pick up the reins and carry on. What this assessment is looking for is for you to use your knowledge and experience to say, well, I can see what's gone wrong here and what I need to do moving forward. So it is very much about the application.

In this episode, Kendall, Mike, and Wolfram Mueller discuss strategies to improve business workflows using the Theory of Constraints (TOC) and Critical Chain Project Management, focused on two things: underloading system constraints and buffer management (having a signal that our flow is or isn't working). One thing that pops out is the importance of calculating business cases and recognizing growth potential--that becomes the compelling case to get middle management on board with the change needed. Getting a team to underload (reduce the non-critical work) of key resources, while having other enabling resources waiting for action is a really hard concept to get managers on board with…until you let them figure out what is holding back their throughput and let them figure out the solution. And that is the big news: consultants can help you identify and work through the problem, but successful change happens with they get out of the way and let the dedicated middle management drive the change. It helps to foster a culture of learning, collaboration, and problem-solving among employees. It enables the self-organization that creates the fix. And evidence shows it out.

Elevating the Conversation about Project Management, with a twist. In this episode cohosts Mike Hannan and Kendall Lott take on some Listener Feedback. A running theme in the show is the actual and delineation of project manager, product manager, and program manager--so we jump on that! Of course, our main theme of its all about value, adding value and understanding projects as investments is once again threaded through the answers. But new things lurk--how do you agile on a fixed-price contract? What's the danger and opportunity in cross-functional teams and accountability when managing scrum teams in a matrix world? How can AI be used (or useful) to help project managers understand architecture, dependencies, and level of effort in order to generate a critical path. Listeners got questions; we got answers--listen in for them and send us your questions!

In this episode, I walk you through how you can build agility into your project management and planning processes for both your business and home plans. I provide an example of how you would do this in a normal project management planning process. I also provide a comparison of what an agility plan looks like for a Solopreneur versus a Side-Hustler and all the flavors and variables in-between.

[6/10 1:30 PM] Kendall Lott "PM is BS!" says Ben Damman, our (highly successful) guest today. Well, maybe...the concern is we have become ceremonial or process-centric over effectiveness.  WE HAVE SO MUCH POTENTIAL, but WE ARE STUCK . And that of course, takes us back to a question of value.  Products or projects, where is value is driven? Is this about general practices or specific adaptations. Today we have the pessimist view, the optimist view, and surprisingly, we landed at some learning through a synthetic view.  Listen in, ponder...then grab a PDU Edited

Design mindset, before you even get to design thinking, let's figure out the problem and check assumptions.  Guest Charles Lambdin describes the need and method of creating a frame of thought that has us testing hypotheses of what we need, and making faster smarter bets on the direction we should follow. A key takeaway: the first thing you design shouldn't be over designed and should be wrong…our goal is learning what is needed. The evidence is it saves overall design cycle time. Ultimately, we are after a bi-directional value exchange with our customers…that's how we get use from the products we design and deliver. Co-hosts Mike Hannan and Kendall Lott challenge the concepts, take notes and discover their own stories that match the lessons that Charles has to share. Charles is a Program Manager at Intel, co-author of the book Presumptive Design, and writer of the blog, "The Lateral Lens: Strategy, Quality and Coaching. He holds a PhD in Human Factors Engineering/Cognitive Science from Wichita State University.

"I will do what I can, with what I have, where I'm at." This is a different take on change management; we break down what people say about change but linking it to the underlying framework from the Theory of Constraints. We should recognize that our organizations are fragile systems, and may be running on consequences and not on relationships. The organization has a sort of physics, and what we see in a lot of change environments is directive, not engagement, and we overcomplicate it--and even when we get it, we don't see it sustained.  TOC suggests that we starts with inherent simplicity, inherent potential, and helps us realize April's adage, "Don't drive people, drive change." It has a business imperative. Co-hosts Mike Hannan and Kendall Lott uncork the effervescence of April K Mills, an international consultant and author of Everyone is a Change Agent and Change Tactics. She was a civilian U.S. Navy nuclear engineer and founded Engine-for-Change LLC. She has consulted with technology, transportation, and energy companies and is a keynote speaker at Agile, Lean, Theory of Constraints, and program and change management events.

"Do all the humans on your team have brains?" Not a comment on ability but on cognition and hardwired biases; if they have brains, they make mistakes in regular patterns. PMs follow the same logical paths of cognition and shortcuts that all humans do, some of which lead us to wrong conclusions and unhelpful behaviors.  As planners and forecasters, our decisions have consequences for others, from executives wanting "the right answer" to colleagues whose performance reviews rely on work, schedules and quality metrics we define.  And, the bad news is, we get it wrong. Through the filters of how we perceive to how we process to how we chose to communicate, there are common and sadly reliable ways that we set ourselves and others up to have make the unknown future look precise, even as it we are less accurate.  The good news is, there is things we can do about it.  Join co-host Mike Hannan and Kendall Lott as they explore the new frontier of PM upskilling from guest, Dr. Josh Ramirez, and we learn some tricks and interventions that help us manage projects better. Dr. Josh Ramirez is founder and CEO of the Institute for Neuro & Behavioral Project Management. He is currently building an organization (www.nbpmi.com) that is working on redesigning project management with behavioral, social, cognitive, and neuroscience, in an emerging field of Behavioral Project Management. In addition, he is currently researching application of science to project management to build a foundation of project science under existing practices. The future of project management is in redesigning around the beings that predict and deliver projects: humans. Josh is co-author of NeuralPlan with Dr. Shari De Baets, and an adjunct professor of project management, with experience that includes business operations management, project management, and project controls, including work at several national laboratories and other projects throughout the U.S. Department of Energy complex, as well as private sector project work.

Discussion points Emotional intelligence: empathy is taught. Be a champion for your team, they are dealing with a lot Should designers PM? Designers need to have empathy too When building teams hire less for fit, and more for the ability to make decisions based on business goals. PM's role needs to be unique because they need to be held accountable for project success/failure. Strategy focus Creative has the load of creativity, is it fair to have the role of asking the hard questions like scope, goals, body language.

So you work at enterprise level. Lots of stake holders, lots of competition for time, need to deliver to multiple demands that ...POP up. All projects incur change over time, that’s the way of the world. Using a benefits driven approach to delivery rather than a process driven or methodology governed approach frees the team to think laterally, and be responsive to client demands. Agility is more than a project management approach, it’s a way of operation and culture that enables and manages rather than constrains change. Ben will unpick how a fluid agile team can be established and run within a constrained environment, AND deliver quality responsive services to a large organisation. Ben will present real world case studies and examples of how he has used agility cultured teams to deliver creative solutions to complex problems, without burning out the fun in our work. He will also demonstrate techniques on rapid modeling which can save you hours of labor over low yield tasks. All of which will give you the freedom to work more creatively and dynamically while meeting the highly regimented needs of your enterprise or Government clients. Ben Winter-Giles is a Consultant with SMS, is currently engaged at the Programme Management level of a whole of Government initiative with the Department of Treasury. Ben has over 10 years experience in Web, Design and Programme Management in the Government ICT sector. Ben also has specialties in enterprise level Human Factors Integration and user centered design for software. Recently Ben has focussed his efforts on the development of integrated management and tactical solutions. Aiming to free creativity and promote responsiveness and flexibility as a way forward for delivering effective design and development solutions within the highly contained Federal Government environment.
