Effective Project Management is a must in today’s rapidly changing environment. The precursors to today’s project management tools were developed in the 1950s by the Navy to provide surety of budget and schedule adherence for complex projects.  These tools spread to construction projects and eventually to information technology projects. Today, the expectation for any temporary, one of a kind endeavor is that the quality, schedule and cost will be controlled with modern project management processes. Join us at dinner this year for tutorials on the key ingredients of these processes.
