Dinner Meeting & Forum
Project Management as a Strategic Competency
Monday, September 12 • Presenter:
Dr. Bill Moylan
The 20th century brought organizational management of routine operations to a high
level. But executing change in an increasingly fast-paced and competitive world
remained a challenge – one that project management has evolved to meet. This
presentation emphasizes that project management is a profession distinct from “management
in general,” and gives examples of organizations that are aligning their projects
and programs with strategic goals.

PMP® Examination Change Approaching
The new

be released on 31 August 2011 as a result of the recent Role Delineation Study (RDS).
The PMP® RDS is the foundation on which this professional certification is based.
The RDS defines what project managers do, how often they do it and how important
their work is. As the RDS is updated, there are resulting updates to the examination
questions and process areas in the PMP examination application.
PMI strongly encourages PMP candidates who have prepared for the current exam to
schedule their exam on or before 30 August.
