Topic: "Improvisation and the Project Manager"

Speaker:  Mike Ryan

Topic Description:  Have you ever walked away from a conversation and said “boy, I wish I would have thought to have said ____________ “?
As Project Managers and Scrum Masters we improvise all the time. Think about how many times each day you have to improvise or adjust in order to help keep your work effort moving forward? Well here’s the great thing about it. We aren’t born great improvisers. However, it is a skill you can learn. If it is a skill you can learn then it is a skill that can be taught and you can improve that skill.

Mike Ryan has presented at PMI Metrolina PDD's, PMI Metrolina chapter meetings, and at many other chapter meetings. Mike has received his PMP, ACP, and PBA from PMI. He has his SAFe SPC4, CSM (Certified Scrum Master),  CSP (Certified Scrum Professional), from the Scrum Alliance. He is a CPA (State of Florida), Six Sigma Black Belt, and has earned his CBAP (Certified Business Analysis Professional) from  IIIBA).  He has both an undergraduate and graduate degree in accounting.

Community Chapter Meeting 

As a means of helping chapter and local community members who are certified as a Project Management Professional (PMP®) satisfy the continuing education requirements for re-certification, PMI Metrolina Chapter arranges its monthly meeting schedule to allow a 1 hour PDU training session to be incorporated into its normal meeting.

Topics presented during these sessions are designed to not only satisfy the PDU requirement for re-certifying as a PMP, but to also provide wide appeal to people involved in project management regardless of whether or not they are certified PMPs. The 1-hour sessions meet the educational requirements to qualify for 1 PDU credits for maintaining PMP® certification or to meet the requirement for attending 35 hours of formal project management education prior to applying to sit for the PMP® exam.

The sessions are open to all.
