Project Management Collective
- What No One Told Me About Being a PM

Join the conversation that gets things done!

Every career has its myths, unexpected challenges, and lessons learned the hard way – and project management is no exception. This authentic, reflective, and engaging session gives newer PMs an opportunity to learn from their experienced colleagues -- and experienced PMs a chance to share some "oddities" they've encountered.

Learning Objectives:​

  • Participants will gain insight that helps them prepare for and manage unanticipated or atypical activities, tasks, and expectations they may encounter as project managers.

 

Agenda:

  • 5:00 PM - Check-In & Network over appetizers and drinks
  • 5:30 - 6:30 PM - PM Collective session 
  • 6:30 PM - Closing remarks 

PDU: 1.0 (Ways of Working)
