November 2020 - Evening PM Network – Ten Years of Change
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.

November 2020 - PMs in the AM – Applying Truth Serum to Project Status Reports
Project Managers produce project status reports on a regular basis. These reports are intended to provide up-to-date status of the project to team members, stakeholders, and project sponsors. However, the truth is that too often project status is derived from inaccurate and/or incomplete information. During this discussion we will look at common problems that lead to inaccurate status reports as well as some techniques that when applied can lead to more truthful reports.
Grab your coffee and breakfast, and plan to join us.
Please let us know you’re planning to join in by registering for the virtual meeting on our website at https://pmimidmo.org. A link to the virtual meeting will be emailed to registrants prior to the event.
