Additional Notes for Our Workshop
In-person attendance is required – we can’t wait to see you there!
Bring your laptop – you’ll use it during interactive group activities. Each participant will be assigned to a cohort and will collaborate on a take-home team assignment (aka homework).
Attendance matters – you’ll need to be present for both Session 1 and Session 2 to receive a certificate of completion from the PMO and CTO.
Timing counts – missing more than 30 minutes of either session means we won’t be able to issue a certificate.
Arrive on time – please plan to be checked in by 8:45 AM. The workshop begins promptly at 9:00 AM.
Team setup – groups will be pre-assigned to reflect cross-functional project teams whenever possible.
Be fully present – this is your chance to engage with your Technology Services colleagues and share best practices in project management.
