Non-Members $25, Members $10, Volunteers $0.   No refunds will be provided for cancellations. 

Abstract:

With the emphasis on Agile, Lean, small teams, fail early and fast, etc. it seems that at times project management is a dead and unnecessary art. True? If we use a narrow definition of PM, probably yes. If we use a broad definition, ABSOLUTELY NOT. Project Management is and continues to be positioned to be a major enabling capability for organizations of all sizes. Come and learn how to expand your PM horizons and become indispensable to your organization.

Learning Objectives:

• Learn what makes project management indispensable
• Learn how to expand your horizons so as to become indispensable
• Understand when to jettison what PM practices
• Consider how to move up in the organization
