Topic: Global Projects: How to Manage Them Successfully?

Presenter: Vittal S. Anantatmula

In the present economy, characterized by intense competition, projects play an important role in realizing and sustaining competitive advantage. With the technological advances in information systems and communications, global projects employing virtual teams are commonplace. Research has shown that there are a number of studies identifying enablers and barriers of global projects.

In the November 2009 Chapter meeting, the presentation, "Managing Global Projects", will be given by Vittal Anantatmula, Associate Professor at Western Carolina University, to help us learn more about how to effectively operate in this global environment. Please make plans to be there!

Chapter Meeting Presentations

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.
