Once again, the Project Management Institute (PMI) Tallahassee Chapter is offering the Project Management Professional (PMP) Exam Prep Boot Camp. This year we will be using materials from one of the leaders in the development of PMP education products, Velociteach. Students will learn the tools and techniques to initiate a project, gather requirements, document a scope of work, determine schedule and budget options, and manage the work once it has begun. Upon successful completion of this class and tracked homework, students will have met the 35-hour training requirement to sit for the exam.  Please see the PMI.ORG web site for additional information on exam requirements.

To best serve our working professionals, the classes will be held evenings as well as one Saturdays. The proposed complete schedule is shown below. Any deviations from this proposed schedule will be provided to all registered students.

Our PMI chapter participated in a local service project that aligned with PMI’s global challenge for 50,000 community service hours.

Hello fellow Project Managers!

Welcome to 2020.  I'm looking forward to an exciting new year and decade.  As we enter 2020, we should look forward to new opportunities.  Have you considered what new opportunities you might pursue in 2020?  I would encourage you to expand your opportunities by attending our Chapter meetings, Networking opportunities, Lunch & Learn Webinars and events hosted by other chapters within our area.   Not only can this lead to professional opportunities, but it allows you to tap into the vast storehouse of experience and knowledge our members possess. Our MEMBERS are AWESOME!!!

Also, plan to take advantage of our professional development education opportunities this year. The Chapter strives to make these events cost effective and relevant. We will be focusing on ensuring that the events cover all three sides of the Talent Triangle as well as the changes in the PMBOK. If you do not yet have a PMI certification, that would be a great goal for this year. The Chapter will be conducting  PMP Boot Camp that aligns with the new version of the PMBOK and exam. We are excited to be hosting a PMP Boot Camp once again.

Finally, consider getting involved in the volunteer opportunities, any Board member would be glad to assist you in finding a volunteer role that fits your skills and talents.

Thank you again for the opportunity to serve you.

David M Davis, PMP, CSM
