Training Tip Tuesdays: The Journey to Formal PM and Portfolio Management

Join us on Monday, November 16 at PW&WCBA 2009 for a presentation by Michael Schertz, Senior Project Manager of Learning and Training Development at Boeing.

Currently, the PM team within LTD managed by Michael, addresses approximately 1000 to 1500 projects with life cycles of less than 200 hours. These projects touch all functional areas across the Boeing enterprise and requirement alignment to specialize programs and project management across the company. This is done with a PM team that is entirely virtual and with over 70% of the developmental work being outsourced to vendors, requiring the PM team to scope the requirements well, but craft statements of work quickly and effectively. This presentation will cover our journey of bringing Project Management and Portfolio Management to Boeing's Learning, Training and Development organization.
