Risk and Risk Language (1 Strategic PDU)

 

Learning to "speak risk" is a significant undertaking in some organizations.  But it's also an amazing opportunity.  By becoming the resident risk linguist, we as project managers can assume a mantle of authority without asking for it.  We have the ability to build a shared understanding of terms of art, and thus become the internal resident experts on the topic. This presentation affords us the ability to start down the road toward a new risk language. 

Learning Objectives & Outcomes
Upon completion of this presentation, participants will be able to:

  1. Identify at least three starting points to build a risk language
  2. Build alliances within our organizational project communities
  3. Communicate more effectively with our clients and management

Project Management – It’s as easy as pie (pizza) (Self-Claim PDU)

When something is simple or easy to accomplish we often say it’s a piece of cake or it’s as easy as pie.  With Project Management we’ve seemingly gone in the opposite direction.  We unnecessarily complicate project delivery.  We can all learn a lesson or two from the experience of making a pizza.   In this session, PMO Joe will compare and contrast delivering a project with making a pizza to help us all learn how to simplify and successfully deliver projects, with pepperoni or not!

You might know me from my podcast, PM Happy Hour! Happy to meet you, I'd love to hear more about you and what you're working on. Day to day, my specialty is bringing the rubber to meet the road: I love facilitating cross functional teamwork when it's really ambiguous and messy and no one knows how to bring a vision to life. I inspire others to join the effort, create accountability to each other, and am excited for what we can create together.
I'm currently at PayPal in the Technology Leadership Program, a 2 year rotation program with 4 six-month rotations. I'm also co-hosting my podcast, PM Happy Hour, nerding out about project management techniques, good communication and ppm tools with Kim Essendrup.
