ALL SESSIONS: Spring 2022 Professional Development Day - A virtual event

PDUs TBD

AM: Tom Ellenberger, Principal Project Controller at Lawrence Livermore Laboratory will present on "Scheduling"

Team-Based Scheduling: Project scheduling has been revolutionized by the introduction of specialized software like MS Project and Primavera P6. These are powerful PM tools that allow a team to have complex, decade-long plans connecting their entire scope together and integrating it into other aspects of Project Management, such as Risk and Earned Value. As the demands on these schedules increased, however, the schedule became less useful to the technical team as a method for planning and tracking their work. What was once a welcome addition to schedule management is seen as a chore. In this course, we will explore why the communications between the PM teams and the Technical teams have deteriorated and how professional schedulers can return to a place where their internal clients are seeing real value from formal project schedules. 

Tom Ellenberger is a Project Controller at Sandia National Laboratories’ Livermore, California campus where he has been providing scheduling support to multiple federally-funded projects and is a frequent contributor to Project Management Communities of Practice. Tom has been working in project management since 2005, with experience in Telecom, Manufacturing, Engineering and construction projects across multiple industries in both the private and public sectors. When not at work, Tom spends his time cooking, singing in the worship team at his church, playing board games and ferrying his 2 daughters to ballet lessons.

PM: Steve Wageman, Risk Management Team Leader, Sandia National Laboratories, will present on "Risk Management"

Basic Applied Project Risk Management: This half-day introduction to applied project risk management will equip participants with the essential knowledge required to perform basic qualitative risk management within a project context. The topics will include risk management planning, identification, framing, categorization, qualitative assessment, prioritization, response planning, monitoring, response, and control. The learning objectives will include:

•    Contrast project risk management to other risk-based disciplines

•     Define key terms related to project risk management

•     Discuss the purpose and components of project risk management

•     Explain the purpose of risk governance and the role of a risk review board

•     Describe the processes and components of project risk management planning

•     Identify project risks using various sources and methodologies

•     Properly define and frame a risk

•     Categorize risks to reduce redundancy, discern trends, and facilitate their management

•     Qualitatively assess project risks by evaluating their probability of occurrence, impact, and urgency

•     Prioritize qualitatively assessed risks

•     Plan and select responses for threat and opportunity risks

•     Monitor the risk environment and the project's performance for risk trigger events and other changes

•     Proactively treat known potential risks with planned corrective actions

•     Reactively respond to realized unknown or accepted risks with workarounds or fallback plans

•     Evaluate implemented responses for effectiveness and to collect lessons-learned

•     Document and communicate risk management results to relevant project stakeholders

•     Close out the risk management process
