Presentation synopsis

The workshop is designed to bridge the gap between the theory and practice of Project Management, especially as it applies to the world of IT projects.  Such projects have become increasingly complex, and are characterized by accelerated changes in technology, new business models, virtual teams and increased expectations of the user community.

The workshop will also address key factors that contribute to a successful outcome for IT projects by meeting or exceeding stakeholders’ expectations.  The speaker will share with us a summary of proven principles and guidelines that are consistently used by outstanding Project Managers, and can be implemented and integrated into any existing methodology or environment.
