PMI Canada's Technology Triangle Chapter

Finding the Sweet Spot Between Product, Project and Portfolio Management (30/Sep/2017)

Oftentimes product management, project management and portfolio management get co-mingled. As a result, roles, deliverables, and objectives can get confused. There's product roadmap and portfolio roadmaps. Project and product life cycles. Prioritizing and funding decisions for products, portfolios and projects. And then there's applying stage gates to products versus projects. The sweet spot is recognizing the boundaries and playing to each other's strengths. This talk will leverage lessons learned and provide some much-needed clarity.

New to this year's Symposium is a "Connect with the Expert" session where each expert speaks on his or her chosen topic for 10 minutes, with a 10-minute open discussion. Each session will run three times with rotating attendees.

The 2017 PMI Canada's Technology Triangle Chapter’s Symposium is on October 17, 2017at the Inn of Waterloo. The Connect with the Expert sessions take place in the afternoon.

PMP Exam Prep Course

The PMI-CTT Chapter is very happy to introduce our very own PMP Exam Preparation Course. We believe this course brings real value to our members as well as to other Project Managers who are interested in formalizing their qualifications and upgrading their resume. This course aims to assist and guide anybody who wishes to write their PMP or CAPM Exam to obtain their professional designation. 

The course material is based on the PMBOK 5th Edition; however, it also presents and discusses real life experience in project management. The materiel is augmented with a case study, reviewing an actual project in detail and how this project follows or deviates from the PMBOK. Coverage of this case study will begin immediately on the first day of the course and will progress in parallel with the PMBOK material being discussed. This case study will discuss the practical aspects of the various phases of a project, including creating a WBS, generating a schedule, developing a budget, identifying and assigning resources, defining a risk management approach, keeping the project on track, dealing with variances, and much more. At the end of the course, the participants will obtain their 35 Contact Hours Certificate required to write the PMP or CAPM Exam.

We are at the beginning of planning our 2018 year of events.  You the Membership not only know best what you want to hear enhancing your project management experience but you also have the experience to share.
