PMI Ocean State: Back From Red

Date: Thursday, February 13, 2014 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Duration: 3 Hours

PMI Ocean State has asked Todd Williams to come out and give his presentation "Back From Red".


Presentation Topic:
Estimates for the annual cost of project failure are as high as two-trillion dollars a year. The rates for projects being at risk are in the 60-70% range, and a quarter of all project's problems are so bad they are simply canceled prior completion. However, moving from a 60% failure rate to 0% is unrealistic. Before organizations can succeed at reducing project failure rate, they must understand what makes their projects fail. Reasons range from methodology to human failure to poorly understood concepts to scope creep. Analyzing projects as systems uncovers all the factors that can contribute to failure.


Agenda for the evening:

· 5:30 PM - Registration & Networking

· 6:00 PM - ½ PDU networking session

· 6:30 PM - Dinner service (if you have elected for the dinner service)

· 7:30 PM - Presentation (Back from Red)

· 9:00 PM - Wrap-up/Adjourn
