The memories of 1981-84 developing the PMI PMP flashed across my mind yesterday during a webinar from Saudi Arabia discussing the value of PMI's new Construction - CP credential. As a Lifetime Learner, I aim to be prepared for the myriad of opportunities arising from this new Construction Professional (CP) certification. Currently enrolled in the four PMI core courses to prepare those who plan to earn this recognition, I look forward to proudly stating, "I have the PMP AND the CP." Continuous learning is the key to longevity in project management. Remember, "It's your career, manage it"! #leepmp Ben Breen, PMI-CP

An organisation can engage with the PMO (Project Management Office) at various levels (low, med, high) depending on the situation or size and complexity of a project, programme or portfolio. At a low level, they can be informed of the existence of projects and provide opinions about projects when asked. They can also be engaged at mid level which may involve monitoring project performance. Engaging at the highest level, a PMO can be used to support project approvals, supervise existing projects and even execute some of the more complex and high value ones themselves. Whatever the case, organisations should remain in continuous engagement with PMOs in order to 'adapt to changing environments', to 'ensure projects are aligned to strategic goals' and to 'enhance the facilitation of stakeholder communication' throughout the project life. #PMO #Stakeholderengagment #Projectmanagement #Motts

Documents Findings: Rely on accurate records, not just memory. Capture detailed examples of what worked and what didn’t, ensuring clarity and precision. 4. Prioritize #Lessons: With limited time and #resources, prioritize the most impactful lessons to maintain a focused and results-oriented approach. 5. Develop Action Plans: Create actionable #strategies to apply these lessons to future projects. 6. #Share #Knowledge: Unshared lessons are missed opportunities.

#RM101 - Risk Register A risk register can also be seen as a risk log and it is a very important mechanism in any risk management endeavor. It’s an insightful and knowledge-driven record of all potential risks, their impact, and possible actions that can be taken to mitigate those risks. Project Managers must continue to maintain a culture of optimizing a risk register as it aids mitigation and adaptability.

🚀 Simplifying the PMP Process for 2024-2025 🚀 You don’t need to memorize all 49 processes or dive deep into every input, output, tool, and technique like we did with the old PMP exams. Let’s keep it straightforward. 1️⃣ Developing the Project Charter: The journey starts here. The project charter is the very first document developed in the process called “Develop Project Charter.” This document is your green light to move forward. 2️⃣ Handling Change Requests: Anytime a change request is raised, it goes straight to the Change Control Board. The process? “Perform Integrated Change Control.” Once approved, all changes are implemented in “Direct and Manage Project Work.” 3️⃣ Starting and Finishing: Projects kick off in the Initiation phase. When all work is complete, we head into the Closing process. The primary task here? Simply “Close the Project.” 💡 Remember: Knowing these processes is enough. Memorizing the full list or every detail is not required in the updated PMP exam approach. Focus on the essentials, understand the flow, and you’ll be set for success. Let’s keep the process straightforward and impactful. If you’re on your PMP journey, dive in and focus on what matters most! 💼 #PMP #ProjectManagement #PMP2024 #ProcessSimplified

☑ Essential elements of good project governance The governance of a project is much like the governance of an organisation. ➤ Project governance is: [The set of policies, regulations, functions, processes, and procedures and responsibilities that define the establishment, management and control of projects, programmes or portfolios] ➔ Alignment to organisational objectives: Means that the projects undertaken by an organisation should be able to demonstrate, in the business case, the contribution to the organisation’s objectives. With this contribution clearly stated then the project context is clear and governance of the project can ensure that the project is focused on the outcome rather than activities. ➔ The golden thread of delegated authority: Is a direct chain of accountability. Within this chain each person needs to know what their authority is and what needs to be referred to a higher level of authority within the chain. ➔ Reporting: Those to whom responsibilities have been delegated should periodically report on progress. In addition to period reporting. Additional reports need to be made if the person with delegated responsibility is unable to fulfil that responsibility, or if conflicts of interest arise. ➔ Independent assurance: Is a counterbalance to self-reporting, and is an independent check of the structures and processes to review whether the objectives will be met. ➔ Decision gates: At specified points in the project life cycle − provide formal points of control where a decision is made to grant or renew authority for the project to continue.
