Quantum Program Management
Quantum technologies and fabulous promises like curing diseases, creating new materials, and optimizing supply chains and government processes are on the horizon. Hackers can use quantum technologies to access just about anything they desire: nuclear codes, health and financial information, and even encrypted Christmas lists! However, we can apply new locks (post-quantum cryptographic algorithms) to improve security.
Dr. Skulmoski outlines the three strategies organizations can implement to prepare, adopt, and progress with quantum technologies: i) quantum business strategy, ii) quantum technology strategy, and iii) quantum cybersecurity strategy. These three strategies can be implemented through a program of projects and sprints. The quantum program includes people, process, and technology dimensions to achieve a holistic approach to quantum technology adoption and robust cybersecurity.
Attendees are introduced to a project management approach combining and tailoring standards and frameworks to quantum technology projects, including post-quantum cryptography projects. The PMBOK®Guide, NIST Cybersecurity Framework, ITIL Service Management, and ISO/IEC 27001 Information Security Management standards and frameworks are aligned into a hybrid project delivery approach applicable to most quantum technology projects, most of the time.

Speakers
Greg Skulmoski is an award-winning project manager having led critical infrastructure projects in Australia, Middle East, and Canada. Greg’s innovative use of project management tools and processes won the CISO 2017 Middle East Security Award (for risk management in digital transformation projects). Later, Greg was one of the project managers for the Smartphone-Connected Pacemaker Devices program that placed third in Cleveland Clinic’s Top 10 Medical Innovations for 2021. Greg has a long history with project management where he served on the year 2000 “PMBOK® Guide Update Project Team” for the Project Management Institute.
Dr. Skulmoski currently teaches risk management and project innovation management at Bond University in the Faculty of Society and Design, in Australia. Greg’s critically acclaimed book – Shields Up: Cybersecurity Project Management brings together research and practice into a concise guide to cybersecurity projects. Greg and Chris Walker wrote Cybersecurity Training: A Pathway to Readiness (2023). Dr. Skulmoski and Dr. Ashkan Memari are writing Quantum Cybersecurity Program Management (2024 Q4).
