At this moment do you understand your resources constraints and availability? Are you often forced to commit to projects with the real possibility that you won't have the resources to deliver without negatively impacting current commitments? Many Higher Education IT leaders do not have basic and accurate resource availability information to confidently commit to work. Often when the compensatory resource juggling starts it is hard to stop and the stakeholders whose projects are negatively impacted begin to lose faith in IT. In this 30 minute webinar we'll discuss simple steps to improve schedule and priority negotiation based upon real resource availabilty.

In this recorded webinar, Bob Lewis, author of Bare Bones Project Management, will provide an overview of the best practices you can't NOT do to effectively complete your projects on time, on budget, and with all deliverables intact.

For most colleges and universities projects and tickets represent IT's body of work yet most institutions manage them in non integrated solutions. Most CIOs are not benefiting from a clear holistic view of their organization. Additionally resources waste time and become frustrated when forced to utilize multiple systems to track their work. In this recorded webinar, we examine how an integrated PPM & Ticketing solution will give IT leadership a true organizational perspective on IT workload as well as give all IT resources one tool to easily manage and update their work.

Presented at EDUCAUSE Midwest in Chicago on March 17, 2011 by Euriael Jordan from Milwaukee Area Technical College and Andrew Graf from TeamDynamixHE:
In the current financial climate, IT leaders are being challenged to reduce expenses while maintaining service levels and delivering new projects. But CIOs often don't have the processes or information necessary to advocate for the investments and changes required to meet these demands. In this presentation, we will explore practical first steps toward building a robust IT governance framework that can help determine and justify where budgets can be cut, where spending should be sustained, and where investments should be made in order to meet the institution's needs.
