&lt;h3&gt;&lt;b&gt;Project Management Negotiation&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;by Roeder Consulting&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;b&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Live, Online &amp;ndash; Taught real-time via the internet in 4 hour blocks over 3 days&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt; &amp;bull; 15 PDUs &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;bull; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Fri., January 27th, February 3rd and 10th &amp;bull; 7am - 11am PST&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Overview: Projects are one negotiation after another. Negotiation skills are among the most important any project manager can possess. This course features a major new case study from Northwestern University&amp;rsquo;s Dispute Resolution Resource Center. The case exercise, which spans across both days, thrusts participants into the position of negotiators who must deliver results against a deadline. Do you establish alliances or go on your own? Do you include your opponent &amp;hellip; or fight them? As Walt Disney demonstrated years ago the most effective learning situations are taught through experience, not lecture. If you want to sit down and have someone talk at you for two days this is NOT the course for you. You will be engaged, energized and stretched.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;b&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;b&gt;Managing Virtual Teams &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;by Roeder Consulting&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;b&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Live, Online &amp;ndash; Taught real-time via the internet in 4 hour blocks over 2 days&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt; &amp;bull; 8 PDUs &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;bull; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Tue., February 7th and 14th &amp;bull; 10am - 2pm PST&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Overview:&amp;nbsp; The reality of today&amp;rsquo;s projects is that they are increasingly conducted in a virtual environment. Savvy project managers must understand how to succeed in a virtual environment when face-to-face meetings are becoming few and far between. In this course, we will discuss how to facilitate trust and open communication in virtual teams, including interpreting and acting upon verbal and non-verbal cues when you can&amp;rsquo;t see them. We&amp;rsquo;ll discuss results obtained by using available technologies such as conference calling, the internet and others. Finally, we&amp;rsquo;ll touch upon on recent research regarding virtual teams and how to integrate the findings into your workplace.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Overview: Leadership is one of the most important and determining factors in the success of any project. Different situations call for different leadership styles. Furthermore, Project/Program Managers and Business Analysts are viewed as leaders but often lack formal &amp;ldquo;position authority.&amp;rdquo; In this course, you will gain an understanding of your power, influence, and formal/informal authority, and combine it with our 3A model - Assess, Adjust and Act &amp;ndash; to help you lead your team more effectively and obtain better results.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Overview: As a Project/Program Manager, you&amp;rsquo;re responsible for a million moving pieces, from tasks to personalities to the natural ebbs and flows in your project life cycle. You need to make sure no balls are dropped. In addition, you are also responsible to ensure everyone knows what they need to do and when. In this course, you will learn specific skills to deal more effectively with day-to-day project management duties by foreseeing issues before they are evident to others, sensing project health without asking for a single status update, see opportunities or solutions more clearly and reading people more clearly.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: normal&quot;&gt;by Magdy Hanna, Ph.D.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: normal&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Magdy Hanna, Ph.D.&quot; width=&quot;100&quot; height=&quot;142&quot; src=&quot;/associations/10887/files/Magdy_photo_2.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small&quot;&gt;The quality of your release is only as good as the quality of requirements and the quality of your test design. No matter how highly skilled your developers are, poor requirements will always lead to poor test design, which will only put out bad releases. This presentation will provide an overview of the scenario-based development and testing process that is based on the use of models. This process has proven to reduce the number of defects found by the test team as well as the end user. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small&quot;&gt;Topics to be covered include: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small&quot;&gt;The problem with traditional development test lifecycle&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small&quot;&gt;The Scenario-Based development and testing process&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small&quot;&gt;Scenario Development from vague requirements statements&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small&quot;&gt;Model-based scenario requirements &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small&quot;&gt;Use Case scenarios&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small&quot;&gt;Decision Table scenarios&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small&quot;&gt;State Transition scenarios&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Overview: As a Project/Program Manager, you&amp;rsquo;re responsible for a million moving pieces, from tasks to personalities to the natural ebbs and flows in your project life cycle.

In this course, you will learn specific skills to deal more effectively with day-to-day project management duties by foreseeing issues before they are evident to others, sensing project health without asking for a single status update, see opportunities or solutions more clearly and reading people more clearly.&lt;/p&gt;
