Chapter Event

On 03 November 2010, a group from the Mid-Missouri Chapter gathered to discuss and organize the PMO Forum Network. Our early topics included, types of PMOs, how to staff a PMO, and authority vs responsibility. Now we discuss being remote and exercising our negotiation skills. Please join us for my final meeting as the facilitator to discuss how the focus of the PMO has changed over the past 10 years.

Please note – this is a virtual meeting. Meeting connection information will be sent to participants prior to the meeting.

All chapter members and those interested in learning more about our chapter are encouraged to attend our annual chapter meeting. We will share information about how 2020 has impacted the chapter, point out some special events that occurred this year, and provide the 2020 financial report. We’ll also give attendees an opportunity to provide us with your feedback throughout the meeting.

Feel free to enjoy your lunch while you connect with us online. We’d love to see a large percentage of our members join for this update on the chapter!

Let us know you’re planning to join by registering for the virtual meeting at https://pmimidmo.org.

A link to the meeting will be emailed to all registrants prior to the event.

Our last five meetings focused on a back-to-basics review of the five PMBOK process groups and gave shared insight to best practices where our projects aren’t taking advantage of the key tools and inputs of each group or phase.

To round out 2020, we are going to do a similar look at the PMBOK 6: Agile Practice Guide. In addition to a good review of some agile basics – we want to share tips for overcoming sticky spots and incorporating agile tools in traditional projects to keep moving our organizations toward the best possible outcomes.

Scientists believe it takes approximately 66 days to form a new habit. We are well past that number of days as we change how we do business due to Covid. There is a great deal of talk about how quickly we will return to “normal” but what if some of our new business habits work better than our previous normal? Let’s start 2021 with a look at some of the top trends impacting project management and have a robust discussion about which ones we would like to encourage and which ones we need to lead our teams and organizations away from maintaining.

PMI developed and produced an Agile Practice Guide with the 6th edition of PMBOK. After a high-level overview of this guide at the end of last year, we realized there is a lot of information in each section of the Guide! Join us over the next several months as we look at one section at a time and learn to incorporate the tools we discuss in our Mid-Missouri organizations!
