Why do projects fail? Research studies have identified poor requirements management processes (or lack thereof) as a leading cause of project failure. PMI’s 2014 Pulse of the Profession® on Requirements Management – A Core Competency for Project and Program Success, finds that 47% of unsuccessful projects fail to meet goals due to poor requirements management. Effective (structured) requirements management processes address many project development/management issues. In both traditional and agile project development, requirements are important considerations in the project life cycle. Successful projects are highly dependent on well-defined and well-understood requirements. Implementing requirements management processes, in collaboration with stakeholders, can greatly improve project success rates, leading to consistent delivery of successful projects and improved organizational performance. The seminar focuses on utilizing requirements management in improving organizational project success rates. It covers effective implementation of requirement processes in any industry, in the public or the private sector, including the tools, techniques and processes. This seminar has previously been offered for PMI SeminarsWorld and at PMI Global Congress.

Research indicates that right from the childhood, we are trained to ask for permission before we have to do something; as we grew we find it easy to blame someone else for our failures; we become lethargic; and, we believe that authority is a prerequisite to lead or to be a leader. In waiting for that position of authority, we miss so many opportunities that otherwise would have benefited us tremendously to excel as a leader. No one person can become a leader overnight, yet research shows that we have had numerous leaders who led effectively without having a position of authority.In order for every individual to be successful, one needs to focus on what he or she can control. I will demonstrate the key principles - purpose of vision, action, critical thinking, positive outlook, resilience, proactive methodology, influence, innovation, social responsibility, believe in self and learning agility - by sharing real stories. To be an effective leader and to transform those of us around, one need to apply and follow these principles of leadership, which can be implemented right away in personal and professional lives.

Take responsibility for your impact, results and reputation as a project manager.
