With scenario planning, organizations can prepare themselves for changing conditions and also avoid the paralysis caused by needing to quickly adapt.

We asked a few of our team members what they are grateful for both professionally and personally and here's what they had to say.

The Meisterplan team is excited to sponsor the OilComm 2020 Conference. This is the second year Meisterplan has sponsored the event, which will be held virtually on October 13th - 15th.

Meisterplan is excited to announce a new Roadmap and Project List, two new views in Meiterplan that will help you drive better decisions and align management and teams on the path forward. The Roadmap gives you a long-term, strategic perspective, while the Project List offers a clear grid view for quick information.

The implementation of a PMO hasn't always been a welcome change, but PMOs are proving their value as the MVP during this crisis.

Adopting an entirely new way of working might not be realistic for you and your organization right now, but you don’t have to change everything to get the benefits of Agile. By implementing just a few Agile principles, you can overcome the challenges posed by remote working and uncertainty to get your projects back on track to completion.

Many people associate Project Management Offices (PMOs) with IT. IT departments from across all industries rely on PMOs to help organize and execute project portfolios. But PMOs are not just for IT departments. Health and life sciences companies rely on PMOs to manage complex and interdependent projects while balancing strict regulatory deadlines. However, as crucial as PMOs are for the industry, not all PMOs are created equal.

Projects are rarely a one-person job. While some small projects might involve only a handful of people, most projects depend on many people to get everything done. Not only are there employees who work on the project regularly, but there are stakeholders, executives, managers and other personnel who have their hand in the project some of the time. It might appear to be unnecessary to have so many individuals and roles involved in one project, but it’s actually incredibly important for completing projects.

Because planning may feel like second nature, few realize there are actually many different types of plans used to get results. This is particularly true for planning in a professional capacity. We compiled a list of the five most common types of planning and how they can help companies improve strategy execution. You’ve likely heard of at least a few of these types, but you may not have given them the attention needed to understand the benefits of each type of planning and how they can help you deliver more projects. So, let’s get a little more familiar with planning.
