BREAKING NEWS PMI-Montréal takes on the issues keeping project managers awake at night!

 

Each theme and speaker was carefully chosen based on the project management nightmares expressed by members during the silent brainstorm session at the last Symposium. 

 

 

The concept : participants were asked to use a coloured post-it and write their professional training requirements and the level of gravity of the issue indicated by a colour ( green, yellow, red). Each note was then posted according to their need on the PMI Talent Triangle.

Next, we voted! Other participants were asked to use a coloured sticker according to level of gravity of the issue in their eyes.

The result? : PMs are not sleeping great. We went through alot of post-its and stickers!!!

 

The Top 3 - Know-how and soft skills

      

You'll notice that PMI-Montréal members are experts when it comes to Technical project management, and the needs expressed here rest strongly on the side of knowledge from the strategic management side (maybe these are the millenials we are hearing so much about?)

Curious? Good! We are revealing the top 3 project management challenges keeping PMs up at night!
