The project management field out there is pretty crowded out there. Its no longer enough to be just really good at what you do.  You have to be more.  It’s no longer build it on time, on scope and budget.   You have to add value over and above the normal requirements of project managers.

So how do we add value?  How do we stand out in the crowd?  How do we get recognized in this very crowded field?

Our speaker will get us thinking about what we can do to innovate our careers and get to the next level.

Key Learning points

• What is our industry looking for in a project manager these days?
• How can we stand up and be recognized in a crowded field?
• What do I need to do to ensure career success as a project manager?

Come find out some of the most important rules and tools to follow during your hybrid meetings, so that no one leaves disappointed or disengaged. You will learn:

He has written and served on many software solicitation selections for both Pima County and Pinal County over the past 16 years. Through his experience, he has learned the importance of identifying requirements early on, and that selecting the right tool can make or break a project.
