Presentation Title

You always Have Enough Time

Presentation Abstract

Too often, I hear the refrain: "We need more time" as a defense for not getting the project done by the established/approved deadline. This presentation examines the thought processes that lead to this all-too-simple excuse and demonstrates that there is indeed enough time to get "it" done. It builds on the theme that Failure is not an Option! And, in sync with the current catchphrase in project management, we will look into how AI is helping project teams get it done. Participants will have an immediate opportunity to apply what they have learned from the presentation. Learning outcomes include:
• Thinking outside the box, business as usual is your worst enemy.
• Understanding that Free Float is your best friend.
• Recognizing that your team needs to own the schedule! Stay out of the way!
• Accepting that when things go wrong, it's not the end of the world.
• Realizing that AI is well on the way to joining your team.
