PMINJ 2017 January Meeting

Abstract

Project Managers must improve their strategic business management skills if they are to succeed in a globally competitive information rich environment.
Key Themes:

The consumerization of IT is forcing companies to develop new products and services at a dramatically increasing rate. As a result, there is a dramatic increase in project requests to the IT organization and the need to deliver projects quickly and with higher quality.
These information rich projects, which involve new and enhanced products, associated services, as well as improved internal process solutions, require Project Managers and IT personnel to collaborate in business teams to more clearly define business requirements and reduce development time. As a result, Project Managers must lead IT and business teams to ensure successful project delivery.

This session will help you understand the difference between a competency and skill, the required competencies and skills, the associated best practices, and how to measure and identify gaps.
