Projects – irrespective of the industry or the field – exist solely to transform some aspect of an operation. The purpose of that transformation is to enable the organization to do more and/or do better (in a for-profit organization, these transformations are done to enable the organization to increase net profit).

Particularly with the dawn of the various alternate methodologies, and the rise of the “consulting” PM, organizations have realized that pure order-taking delivery isn’t enough. Everything about a project must be based on the value the project delivers to the business.

Just as the NASA flight controllers did on Apollo 13, project managers must use what’s at hand to make value happen.

This session, through example, discussion, and guided participant practice, delves into what “It’s the value, stupid,” means in terms making today’s project successful. From portfolio to project, and across the span of methodologies and approaches, projects that ignore the value to the “business” are doomed for, at best, mediocrity.

Mediocrity is not an option (any longer).
