PMI Thumb Chapter May 2021 Dinnertime Meeting
VIRTUAL MEETING!! May 12th, 2021
TOPIC: Service Now: IT Business Management
BONUS: Change Management
PDU: 1 - Technical - .5 Technical
SPEAKER: Jeff Kissinger, PMP, CSM
BONUS: Derek Beck, PMP, PMI-ACP, DASSM, DAC, LSSBB, Prosci-CCP, MBA
ABSTRACT:
It seems like ServiceNow is taking over the world – well, at least the IT world. This presentation is about one IT PMO’s experience with implementing, using, and supporting the ServiceNow IT Business Management suite of tools, which includes project and portfolio management, resource management, and the financial modules. You will learn about the implementation process, the strengths and weaknesses of the system, and what it takes to maintain it properly.
BONUS: Organizational Change is something we deal with on a regular basis. It’s one of the four fundamental factors that initiate projects, but Change Management is a skill separate from Project Management. So what is Change Management if it’s not Project Management?
2021 MTC Professional Development Day (09-20-2021)

TOPIC: Tools and Tactics to Recover Troubled Projects

SPEAKER: Shawn Belling M.S., PMI-ACP, PMP, CSP, & Vice-President, Professional Services for CloudCraze
ABSTRACT:
We will be spending the day learning practical applications to asses a project and develop a recovery plan in 'real life' scenarios.

Just to name a few.

Grow Your Skills
It is particularly important for Project Managers to maintain and improve their project management knowledge and skills to stay competitive in the market. PMP certification is a critical component. As, during the resent years, project management discipline took a step toward more flexible and dynamic project management methodologies, in addition to the traditional waterfall approach, several new emerging methodologies became in high demand. Thus, training and credentialing in these methodologies became highly sough after among Project Management professionals. It is especially relevant in today's economic climate.
