SUMMARY:How to Link Tasks Using a Master Project Schedule
DESCRIPTION:Sequencing activities is a critical process within the Schedule Management knowledge area. It is a key component to building in logic – determining the path by which a schedule flows.

How is that accomplished? \nEdwards Performance Solutions’ Senior Project Manager Mike Angello\, will address what a master project schedule is\, how to use a master project schedule to link tasks across multiple projects\, and the importance of using milestone tasks to accomplish linking. \n  \nThis Webinar is eligible for 1 PMI PDUs in the Technical category of the Talent Triangle.

SUMMARY:A Disciplined Approach to Cybersecurity Program Management
DESCRIPTION:Edwards Performance Solutions Director of Commercial and Cybersecurity\, Brian Hubbard applies a program management approach to your cybersecurity program. \nIn many organizations\, the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) and their team understands the need for a strategic approach to managing an enterprise information security program. However\, continual tactical “fire drills” rarely allow time to be dedicated to strategic objectives. Given typical CISO resource constraints\, efficient and effective operations is critical to success. Running a cybersecurity program through a disciplined program management approach enables CISOs to bridge gaps between tactical time pulls and the goals of a strategically oriented\, business focused information security program. For smaller organizations that may not have a security staff at all\, the Cybersecurity Program Management Office (PMO) concept provides a model for obtaining the necessary services. \n  \nThis Webinar is eligible for 0.75 PMI PDUs in the Strategic category of the Talent Triangle.
