UCOP Project Management Group | HE / 20 min | The Project Management Interest Group is a UCOP campus affinity group that launched in 2009 to provide support and share best practices and tools for getting work done more quickly and effectively. The group holds monthly brown bag meetings the first Tuesday of each month; meetings alternate between the Franklin and Kaiser buildings and often feature guest speakers. Topics include a combination of best practices learning and discussion, tools training and practitioner roundtables for both experienced and novice project managers. The group also has an email list and SharePoint site. http://ucnet.universityofcalifornia.edu/working-at-uc/get-involved/campus-affinity-groups.html If there are any other questions about the group that you or others have, I’d be happy to follow up on them with Paul (the convener of UCOP PMIG). | DECIDED : -
