In 1969, the Project Management Institute (PMI) was founded.

Project Management specialists were building roads, buildings, the new ‘computers’ and lunar modules.

• The AT&T telephone operators still plugged wires into boards to transfer calls!
• Paper memos slowly communicated work to be done. Multitasking was unheard of.

The PMBOK (Project Management Body of Knowledge) established a standardized and control-focused approach to doing projects, much like ADDIE brought to the new field of training.

Now, 45 years later our work looks more like a Flashmob: interruptions, unending work, dysfunctional multi-tasking and highly matrixed organizations.

Everyone needs everyone to do their pile of projects. We have to embrace the structure of the PMBOK while looking at our project artifacts and tools in a new way.

Join Lou to learn about short-cuts that help ‘accidental’ project managers organize and adapt to chaos.
