In five sessions-plus a keynote presentation-they will offer overviews of common PPM and PMO issues. PMXPO 2012 includes valuable take-away materials, including templates, checklists, project plans and presentations that you can modify and use in your own practice.

Event Agenda:

• Keynote Presentation: CSI Projects
  • David Berman and Jon Wellner (LinkedIn profile), Research Consultants and Actors, CSI
    • Few of us run projects that depend on DNA samples or tire tread analysis, but the same research and attention to detail that has made the CSI franchise so wildly successful can translate to better projects for YOU! Series consultants and actors David Berman and Jon Wellner will be on hand at PMXPO 2012 to take you from idea to air-date with night-vision clarity and behind-the-scenes information on how the show is made and how you can apply TV-show solutions to real-world project challenges.
