Breakout session Nr1

Perspectives on Project Value by Presidents: Organization, Governance, and Influence

Projects usually don’t fail because of a lack of methodology. They usually fail because they lack alignment, support, or relevance.

Today’s organizations expect projects to do three things at once: create value in agile environments, execute strategy through PMOs, and earn real buy-in from stakeholders.

In this breakout session, we’ll explore rules of project success through these complementary perspectives: which ways an organization is changingto creat value, how PMOs turn vision into execution, and how project leaders can sell their projects, their teams, and themselves.
Because in the end, a successful project must be agile, aligned and approved.
