Details:	Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide) from PMI® is one of the world’s most referred project management guides and MS Project 2007® (MSP) from Microsoft® is one of the world’s most used practical project management tools. The 4th edition PMBOK® Guide and MSP very much go hand in hand. While PMBOK® addresses the theoretical aspects, MSP seeks to implement them in a practical manner. However, there are some differences between the terms and terminologies, but the core concepts remain the same, e.g., PMBOK elucidates on Schedule Baseline, Activity Resources, and Resource Calendar whereas MSP informs on Baseline, Work Resources and Standard Calendar, respectively. Similarly, delving deeper brings out the enormous amount of synergy that exists between the two. The session will focus on - how best a PMP® or a with sound understanding on PMBOK® Guide can use and apply MSP for Schedule Management, by exploiting the synergy between MSP and PMBOK® Guide.

Details:	Most of projects are executed in an environment which is becoming increasingly global, flat and fast paced. Most of the large projects have multiple project teams, working in different locations and requiring different compliance requirements. BPM is a management discipline with more focus on end to end cross functional intra and inter enterprise business processes in comparison to focus on department silos organised across business functions. Projects by nature are cross functional involving multiple departments, teams and stakeholders. Projects are executed in multiple organization contexts -culture, rules, IT systems and regulations which are different for different stakeholders involved. However, 21st century projects need business processes which on one hand integrate all stakeholders in real time manner (Public process of the project) while on other hand it allows each stakeholder to customized its internal business processes and integrate them with their internal IT systems(Private business processes) . Business process management systems (BPMS) are the tools which allow business users to define robust, integrated, agile and customize business process. They can be used to create a project execution platform which can respond to project events in an agile manner and provide real time visibility in project key performance indicators (KPI) leading to execution of projects with faster time to project value delivery within competing constraints of the projects.
