Mastering the Mindset Game: Elevate Your Project Management Skills

Presentation Abstract

Imagine two project managers, equally skilled and experienced, facing a challenging project. One excels while the other struggles. What sets them apart? It's not just about technical expertise or leadership styles; it's about mindset. Learning Outcomes from this engaging and interactive presentation will include:
• Understanding the dynamic interplay between a 'Growth Mindset' and a 'Fixed Mindset'
• Unravelling the secrets behind why some project managers thrive amidst challenges when others find themselves stuck.
• Learning how mindset can impact how you as the project manager not only manage but also lead your project team and key stakeholders to successful project outcomes.

So join Andrea Marshall and other project management professionals to learn how to get into a 'Growth Mindset' to help ensure the success of your projects.

Presentation Title

AI and the Future of Software Development Careers

Presentation Speaker

Rob Myers, CSAT
Principal Agile Instructor & Coach
The Agile Institute

Presentation Abstract

As Artificial Intelligence (AI) Large Language Models (LLMs) begin to take over more and more software development activities, what is there left for us mere humans to do? Plenty, Rob Myers believes (or hopes), though what that might look like will require a re-evaluation of roles on software development teams.

In this presentation, Rob describes his vision for a bright future, where people collaborate with LLMs--and each other--to provide high-quality and valuable software. Though unintended consequences are--by definition--unpredictable, Rob suspects that we will neither fall victim to Skynet's Terminators nor will we all become the lazy couch-potatoes portrayed in Wall-E.

The following Learning Outcomes will help software developers:
• Think in terms of concrete examples and turn those into executable specifications
• Use AI and LLMs to to streamline software development deliverables
• Understand how to use Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Human Intelligence (HI) together
• Re-evaluate current software development team member roles

So join Rob Myers and other PMICIE members and software developers to learn how you can make your projects more efficient and effective, and transform your workplace.
