Event: Portland General Electric, Training Seminar

Date: March 24, 2011, 8:00-Noon

Speaker: Christopher Dennis

Want to take your career to the next level or a new direction? Want the project and people to turn out better when you’re in charge? Need methods to get the work done more effectively?

This seminar helps kick off a new project while learning valuable project management skills. Using the individual’s new project as a primary focus, we will learn and apply a simple process for scoping and leading a project. Next we’ll address the fundamentals of project planning. With the foundation of a plan in hand, we will turn our attention to progress tracking and the daily management of stakeholders, budgets, and outcomes. As project managers we will learn a proactive approach, trying to prevent trouble rather than reacting to it.
