description
This is one of many excellent presentations given over the last three years of the eVa in the UK series. They can also be found in the archive at: http://evaintheuk.org/archive along with back-copy video footage in http://evaintheuk/pmchannel EVA19, the long established Earned Value conference, has this year described its theme as looking at a project management ‘ABC’ – Agile, Benefits and Complex. The four day event, which returns to the Armourers Hall, runs from the 19th to 22nd of May with the flagship conference being held on 20th and 21st May and workshops before and after. The conference will look at how this ‘ABC’ can be made to work within a portfolio and how agile fits into major and minor projects. It will investigate how to manage the relationship between portfolio benefits and project budgets, and whether complex projects even exist. Conference organiser and APM chairman, Steve Wake says: “Currently there is little evidence that this ‘ABC’ is being effectively deployed and managed. This conference aims to address that concern through EVA’s trademark blend of learning and professional development. Case studies and unusual presentations, delivered by top-notch speakers and experienced practitioners, will again engage and entertain the audience. We’ve used string quartets to illustrate points in the past and this year we will be using a Blues band for the first time.” Speakers across the two days include many familiar faces from the APM events programme including; Adrian Pyne of the APM ProgM SIG ‘Changing the project wasteland with a portfolio culture that works,’ APM Honorary Fellow Tim Banfield Director at the Major Projects Authority and Stephen Jones, Sellafield and Planning Monitoring and Control Specific Interest Group (PMC SIG) and Carolyn Limbert of the APM PMC SIG to talk about agile, benefits and complex. Peter Taylor, the Lazy Project Manager will be presenting on “The project manager who smiled” and the ever popular Stephen Carver will present the leadership lessons that can be learnt from Alfred the Great. In addition, there will be speakers from AIRBUS, TfL, Bloodhound, Heathrow T2 and London Tideway Tunnels. The conference will be supplemented by a number of workshops being held at the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators, Bloomsbury Square on Monday 19th and Thursday 22nd May 2014. 'eVa in the UK' http://evaintheuk.org is building a reputation, brand and a learning legacy for the Project Management Profession. The event series is now in its nineteenth year. It is almost as if it all kicked-off when Steve Wake was in short trousers and knights roamed the land on their chargers! #eva19 is an excellent example of Listening, Learning and Leading #apmLLL in action, and great opportunity for professional development. I would encourage anyone who is interested in 'Building a better Project Manager,' to take a look at the web site, and book your place and get involved.

The Great Project Debate
There is always a debate about change management vs. project/programme management, then throw in the word transformation, and it gets even more complicated.
How can you make sense of what fits where, and more importantly deciding what really matters when setting yourself and your project up for success.

4 Project “Categories” Matrix
Types of Projects Examples P3C Category
Big Infrastructure Infrastructure, bridges, data centres, etc.
Projects as part of a Programme, probably within a Portfolio.
Consulting Firm Projects
Most of consulting work is project-based, i.e. they will have a contract to deliver work packages.
Definitions don't matter.
The “Oh Bother” Projects
Stuff that businesses HAVE to do for regulatory, legal, safety, etc. reasons.
All 4, but JDI
Business Transformation
System integration to drive a new TOM
Change, but may sub-divide to simplify, track, to ensure delivery.

Making Sense of it
Test question: Are ALL of these “Projects”?• Projects?• Programmes?• Portfolios?• Business Changes?
APM’s definition: A unique, transient endeavour undertaken to achieve planned objectives.

Quieting the Noise
Divorce the Project from the Endeavour What’s really CHANGING? • Is it the system or is the TOM• Is the business trying to weed out dead wood and
bring in new life• What ultimately is going onMake sure you have a sponsor that “gets it” It’s ok if sometimes the “plan” isn’t always your Bible…
