Your pathway to project success 

Project sponsors are like powerful tools - when engaged effectively they can clear seemingly insurmountable barriers and pave the way to success.  When engaged ineffectively they can make any project a living nightmare.  In this webinar we will discuss strategies for involving project sponsors at the appropriate times, for the appropriate reasons, so that the project sponsor works for you, rather than the other way around.

Craig Lucia, Principal Consultant, at Ivar Jacobson International will be presenting Better, Faster, Cheaper, Happier: Large Scale Adoption of Agile Practices at KPN Telecom.

Working interactively with the business to achieve better results
 
Everyone knows that frequent reviews of intermediate results can result in valuable feedback, but we don't review as much as we should because of concerns how early, partial results might be received.  In this webinar we will discuss strategies for setting expectations for reviews, and how to conduct reviews to achieve the maximum benefit.
 

Seeing beyond wants and wishes to find the real source of business results
 
The philosophy that "the customer is always right" often results in solutions that deliver everything that is asked for but still fail to achieve the desired business results.  In this webinar we will discuss why delivering what the business asks for may not result in project success, and how to effectively go beyond wants and wishes to find and agree upon what is really needed.

Dashboards are powerful tools that allow us to monitor and control our projects and organizations. When using a dashboard a brief analysis can spot important trends and significantly improve our decision making capabilities by providing leading indicators of success or failure.

Kurt Bittner to present: Transforming the Role of the Business Analyst for Innovate 2010, the Rationale Software Conference, held at the Walt Disney Swan and Dolphin Resort in Orlando, Florida, June 6-10, 2010

Kurt Bittner of Ivar Jacobson International will present with Laurie Mackloskly of Travelers Insurance at the Insurance Accounting & Systems Association, Incorporated (IASA) annual education and business show in Grapevine, Texas, June 6 - 9, 2010. The panel is titled  574 Agile Development-Successful Delivery & Implementing Across the Enterprise

Everybody wants to be agile – but how do you demonstrate that the new agile projects are actually more effective than their non-agile predecessors? In particular, how can you measure the performance of all your projects in a way that allows their achievements to be compared independently of the practices that they are using, and in a way that is accessible to your business partners?

In this free 60 minute online seminar we will look at an agile framework for organizational measures based around the improvement goals of Better, Faster, Cheaper and Happier.

In this 30 minute webcast,  IJI will explore the changes needed for success with iterative development.

In this informative 30 minute webcast, Kurt Bittner will discuss what's required to ensure your team is ready for iterative development.

View the recorded webcast: In this webinar we will cover the essentials of the iterative approach, about how and why an iterative approach overcomes some significant shortcomings of what many might call the "traditional" approach, also referred to as the "waterfall" approach.

Everybody wants to be agile just like everybody wants to be trim and fit. But getting there is not easy. It is not just about being iterative, or test driven, working in pairs and standing up for 15 minutes or less and so on. It is a change in mindset – how you think about software development. 

View the Recorded Webcast - As a software development leader in your organization, you need to be confident that your project teams can not only identify and analyze project risks but that the risks explicitly drive project plans, that risks are actively attacked and continuously monitored, and that risk mitigation is demonstrated with working software.
