"What Project Managers Can Learn from Other Occupations" by RuthAnne Guerrero, PMP
Since each project is unique, there are unique challenges inherent in
every project. What a project manager needs to do on each project is
fundamentally the same, but how to accomplish it frequently requires
adaptation to succeed. Please join Ruth Anne in a light hearted
examination of the argument: "If Project Management is part Art and
part Science, then a Project Manager must be both an Artist and a
Scientist". Ruth Anne will draw upon her many years of project
management experience to share how we can observe and what we can learn
from other occupations.
