The Project Management Institute of Tallahassee, Florida

Dinner Event December 7, 2009

Neal Whitten presents

 

"Eight Dumb Project Management Beliefs"

 

 

 

 

Program:

There is much more to learn within the project management profession than meets the eye of the casual practitioner/observer. Many of the lessons are not obvious but become clearer once we have been exposed to them. Neal Whitten reveals eight commonly held beliefs that are thought to be true, but all are false. Examples include: If You Don’t Lead Project Members, They Will Lead Themselves; Run the Project by Agreement; and Committed Dates Are Fixed. Be prepared for some “Aha!” moments and your belief system to be challenged.
