WHEN: TUESDAY MAY 13, 2014
WHERE: UMPQUA BANK (formally Sterling Bank), MOUNTLAKE TERRACE
There are many methodologies for managing projects. Matching the right methodology to the project is not always easy, but is critical to the success of the project. Additionally, no one is likely to be adept at all project management situations; what can you do to adapt to unfamiliar or uncomfortable situations?
As a CEO, you either lead projects yourself or you lead people who are leading projects. Doing so effectively can make the difference between a successful company and an unsuccessful one.
Software construction was for years thought of as a predictable process, much like building construction, but recent learning has shown that methodologies for managing unpredictable projects do far better at managing software projects. Knowing the type of project is often critical in its success or failure.

QUESTIONS THE CEO SHOULD BE ASKING
- Every company has projects to manage. Many companies manage them poorly, and many projects fail. Having more awareness of the types of projects and the methods of managing them can help more projects succeed.
- CEO's should be asking themselves these questions:
- Do I understand the various classes of projects and the various ways to manage these projects?
- Which ways of managing am I comfortable with and how will I deal with those with which I am uncomfortable?
TAKEAWAYS
- You will learn a useful way to categorize your projects by their "management personality," allowing you to manage them more effectively.
- You will learn about how methodologies for managing projects differ in terms personality assumptions.
PREPARATION
- Bring a list of a few systems in use and a list of a few projects underway at your company.
