Topic:  Have You Seen My Dozer? A Study on Risk, Quality,and Project Ethics

Speaker: Joseph Griffin, D Min, PMP

Topic Summary:  Have You Seen My Bulldozer? is a humorous and, unfortunately, true case study of how one project leader experienced an unexpected challenge when he watched a multimillion-dollar bulldozer sink from sight. This paper will introduce the case study and provide readers with a foundational overview of why integrating risk and quality processes is critical for project success. Both the benefits of leveraging such an approach and the consequences of failing to integrate them are explored as part of the one page case study.

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.
