This stream revisits the core principles of project management, reinforcing the fundamental skills and best practices essential for successful project delivery.

With the increasing complexity of modern projects, a strong foundation in scope, schedule, cost, risk, and stakeholder management remains critical to delivering the resilient wherewithal to deal with emergence through-life, especially adaptive software support (aka DEVSECOPS) and the automated regression testing and testbench infrastructure.

Sessions will focus on proven methodologies, practical applications, and lessons learned, providing attendees with the tools and insights to enhance project performance, governance, and control.

Whether you are new to project management or a seasoned professional looking to refine your approach, this stream offers valuable insights into the fundamentals that underpin project success.

This stream presents developments in acquisition project processes and controls to leverage more agility.

 Increasingly engineered capabilities are software-based for most requirements, leveraging extant commercial code and APIs to deliver the required functionality.

 Also, most projects are exploiting greater digital engineering and digital acquisition. The decades-old battle between the systematic waterfall processes of bureaucracies and the agile processes of software development has spawned a middle ground of agile testing around modelling, simulation and prototype with digital documentation and dashboards to do integrated development and operational testing and project control requirements, schedule and cost.

This stream explores advancements in project governance and control frameworks, aimed at ensuring effective oversight and decision-making in complex project and program environments.

As projects increasingly integrate digital engineering, software-based capabilities, and commercial off-the-shelf solutions, traditional governance and controls structures need to adapt.

The evolving governance and controls landscape demands a balance between structured governance and control mechanisms and the ability to include less structured methods including agile.

This stream examines emerging practices which enhance transparency, accountability, and improved performance management across the project and program lifecycle.
