Deb Secor, Principal Program Manager at Rockwell Collins
Showcases how her Lean Engineering Accelerated Planning (LEAP) team successfully applied best practices from TheGuide to Lean Enablers for Managing Engineering Programs during development of an aircraft remote-visioning system. The Guide was released in 2012 by the Project Management Institute (PMI), the International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Learn from Deb how to apply lean enablers at the outset of the planning process to drive substantial savings across the life cycle of a program.

Tom Mochal, President of TenStep, Inc. and winner of the PMI 2005 Distinguished Contribution Award, enables you to put all the pieces together to make sure that Project Management Office (PMO) work provides value, the value is measured, and the value is communicated. Do not let your organization’s PMO be viewed as an overhead organization that is a barrier to swift project completion. Tom will teach you how PMOs can help projects execute better, faster, and cheaper.
