Since 2005, the first Thursday of November PM’s of the world celebrate Project Management Day. This day is to celebrate the work that is done by Project Managers in every capacity. Cheetah recognizes that a project is part of our day to day lives:

  • Career development
  • Home Improvements
  • Acquiring a home
  • Family celebrations
  • Community

Michelle LaBrosse, PMP provides insight to this special celebration. She is recognized as one of the most influential women in project management.

  • Cost Cutting, with about 16 topics for a “lean” IT organization
  • Process Improvements and Productivity
  • Economic downturns can be a benefit.  They will have a topic dedicated to being Innovative during rough financial times
  • Customer Service and Retention
  • Risk and Change Management.  This is certainly a time of increase changes!

For Enterprise Portfolio Management software companies, this symposium is the “mothership.”  Gartner is the owner and creater of the Magic Quadrant.  If you work for a IT software company, you are certainly familiar with this quadrant.  It is an important tool to review application support and usage prior to purchasing and maintaining.  For more information on this event, go to the Gartner Symposium website. 

In a future discussion, PM Majik will do a full scale review of its own, for these Magic Quadrant participants.  More important than Gartners technical assessment, may be the assessment of the users.
