2018-07 The New IT – What Every PM Should Know

We are pleased to be announcing our first monthly JC PM MeetUp, to be held at noon through 1:00 pm at the Wipro office in Jefferson City.  In similar format as the evening PMO Forum Network and the noon-time COMO PM Network, we plan to identify a project management-related topic at each meeting, with facilitated discussion in a casual environment. 

A quick introduction will be included to encourage attendees to get to know one another.  The topic of discussion planned will be The New IT, offering an introduction to IoT, DevOps, Cloud, Data Lakes Design Thinking, and other trendy IT topics that every project manager needs to be familiar with.  Whether you have already been exposed to these topics through project experience, or you don’t even know what they stand for, you are welcome to attend.  The JC PM MeetUp sessions are designed for attendees to learn from others through sharing knowledge and experiences.

There is no charge for this event, and attendees will earn 1 PDU for the hour of discussion, which will begin promptly at noon and end at 1:00.  Bring your own lunch and plan to be part of this new chapter event!

Project managers rarely have teams of direct reports. Generally, that means we are managing people who report to other managers. This requires the skill set of managing both “up” and “down.” Let’s take a good look at this critical soft skill and see if there are some techniques and templates to help us do it well! 

Bring your own lunch and join us for discussion on this topic.

What is more important to project success, emotional intelligence or academic intelligence? Is it better to understand emotions or quote the PMBOK? Is emotional intelligence more than soft skills? Attendees should be prepared to discuss their opinions and experiences of the part that emotional intelligence plays and if it is preferred over academic intelligence.
