The project is finished. Did it help the business?
A project can meet its scope, schedule, and budget targets and still leave an important question unanswered: did it create the value the organization needed?
Finishing the project is only part of the job. Did it solve the problem? Did people use what you delivered? Did it help the business? We’ll talk about how project managers can ask those questions earlier and keep the answers in focus throughout the project.
Join Diane Buckley-Altwies, Steve West, and Mathew Sparkes to explore how project management guidance has evolved from PMBOK 6 through PMBOK 8—and what that means for your role and your organization.
What We’ll Cover:
  • What changed from PMBOK 6 through PMBOK 8
  • Defining success beyond finishing the project
  • The PM’s role in connecting work to business goals
  • Helping your organization make the shift
