The theme for this year’s conference is “Managing Projects Effectively in a Cost Constrained Economy”. A key focuses for the conference are program management, testing and project oversight throughout the entire Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). As we all know cost, schedule and quality are key drivers for any project, but assuring we built the right product is paramount to a successful project.

 

Mr. Mayo's presentation this year focuses on Effective risk management for IT projects.  The presentation will be a highly interactive presentation and will explore several aspects of project risk management including common problems associated with risk management, a standards based approach to risk management, and critical success factors for a successful project based risk management approach.  The presentation will define risk management through a brief overview of several risk management standards including PMBOK, ANZ-4360, ISO 31000, and NIST 800-30.  After defining risk management we will discuss common problems that frequently inhibit a project manager's ability to effectively manage project risks.  A standards based approach to project risk management will follow the discussion on risk management challenges.  The presentation will conclude with a discussion of the critical success factors for an effective project based risk management approach.

Risk Philosophy

My personal risk philosophy is, keep it simple, be sensitive to your surroundings so you can quickly adapt to the changing environment, stay focused on the most important objectives and most importantly follow a disciplined approach and don't get distracted by all the noise in the environment.

About the JWMC Logo

After publishing my first book,Chaos to Clarity, I stumbled upon an article that described the ancient rune Jera (pronounced Year . Ra). The runic alphabet emerged sometime between the 1st century BCE and the 2nd century. The runic alphabet known as Elder Futhark consists of 24 runes one of which is Jera. I noticed an interesting relationship between the description of Jera and two important risk management principles; stay focused and practice a disciplined approach.
