The presentation’s theme and content is based upon business accounting metrics which focuses on direct and indirect costs.  They are both fairly dry  topics in work venues other than manufacturing and construction.  Yet, optimum staff utilization is a true cornerstone of the project management discipline.  This applies to all project managers.  PMs need to know where there is available capacity to pursue additional projects.  It is critical for PMs in the project trenches to pay attention to staff utilization.  Project leaders and program administrators can contribute greatly to accomplish this goal.  During the presentation, Robert Zeh will include information about practices and ideas on how to include/implement project staff utilization measures.  

This year PMI NJ Networking sessions will alternate between speaker presentations and networking practice.  This month in Edison we will have a brief presentation about "elevator speeches", and then a practice session where attendees can network and practice these critical brief introductions.
