IEEE-USA Livestream Webinar: Project Management
All I Needed to Know about Project Management, I Learned Planning a Wedding
When Diane was planning her wedding, she had an opportunity to work on site at a nuclear power plant assisting in the development of the schedule for the second unit. Her response to the request was “I just need access to a phone during lunch.”
If you have planned a wedding, a conference, an event, a move, a remodel, or other big change, you have been a project manager. Diane will provide an overview of project management using examples as small as a wedding to as large as a major power plant. She will also address how Agile may fit into your project or how the PM fits into an Agile project.
For those considering project management careers, she will cover PM and Agile certifications and project management jobs.
