It's nearly that time again. The next meeting of PMI North Scotland will be held on 30th April. This month we will be back at Lloyds Register at Prime Four. Details and registration link are in the attached flyer. Registration is preferred, but not compulsory. This month we want to give project managers in the region the opportunity to share their knowledge and learn from each other. We all have our favourite tools and techniques to improve our project management performance. Come along to hear what other people use and to share what you use. By tools and techniques we do not mean software packages such as Project Libre, MS Project or Primavera. We are interested in the simple, but powerful, tools such as RACI, rolling wave planning, decision trees, active listening, etc. As a preparation, I would be interested to hear from those of you who cannot make it to the meeting what tools and techniques do you use and recommend? Feel free to add to the comments below.

Our Lean-Agile PMO course is designed for PMOs and senior change stakeholders as they make the changes necessary to support agile and traditional projects, programmes and portfolios. Some PMOs have difficulty in defining the organisational value they create. The PMO may be seen as predominantly a reporting or administration function. This is a course that outlines a design for a PMO using Lean and Agile concepts 👉Click here to read more: https://lnkd.in/e-CwB4Y

Thanks for the kind words Alan. You'd expect me to write this, but I was genuinely thrilled at the volume of discussions in that meeting. I'm still working through the chat! I hope to see more from Association for Project Management in the project controls space, including more testimonials and content from ChPPs with project controls backgrounds, just like the CAG Chair Amy Morley. After all, our Chartered standard is open to those across the project profession, not just PMs. Anyway, back to that spreadsheet. #networking #projectprofession #projectcontrols #projectmanagement #knowledgeshare

Early adopters of half-hourly settlement stand to benefit as Ofgem announces MHHS (Please forward to your Energy Manager) All about Market-wide Half -Hourly Settlement - the view of a Meter Operator In 2025 MHHS will further incentivise smart energy tech and decarbonisation, with UK consumers set to save billions of pounds in energy costs as a result, according to the market regulator. Yet the major question for energy suppliers remains: why wait for the market-wide mandate when you can get ahead with Elective Half-Hourly Settlement (EHHS) already? https://lnkd.in/e-VSPv_7 Want to find out more?

I'm looking for some help. The next PMI UK North Scotland meeting (Tuesday 30th May - flyer attached) will discuss tools and techniques the project managers use to make the day-to-day management of projects that little bit easier. We want to avoid the obvious things like MS Project or Primavera and focus on the task specific tools and techniques such as RACI and 3 Point Estimating. I would be interested in what other tools project managers (or team members) find useful. Please add any suggestions in the comments below. Many thanks for your help. #projectmanagement #pmi #Aberdeen
