PMI Washington DC, Silver Spring and Baltimore, Maryland Chapters Offer Project Management Events to the Local Project Management Community
The Washington DC, Silver Spring and Baltimore project management communities are fortunate to have several very active PMI Chapters serving them. This is a brief summary of three of the events offered by local Chapters.
The PMI Washington DC Chapter is offering a breakfast meeting on March 4 at the National Press Club. The presentation, entitled “Conversation to Commitment” by Sunjay Pandey, President and Principal, alterthought.com will be offered as part of its “PM in the A.M.” series. According to the abstract on the chapter website:
“Markets, customers, and industries are moving quickly. Rapid application development is a strategic necessity. But, rapid application development techniques require rapid estimation and planning techniques. Business demands for improved time-to-market means your teams must estimate, plan, and budget application development projects with greater speed and accuracy.
- Estimate application development projects in hours, not weeks
- Quickly and confidently enter feature negotiation with customers
- Envision a consistent estimation and budgeting process for your teams
- Bridge the gap between Agile-oriented and Plan-driven estimation
- Understand how to build practical, repeatable work plans”
