PMI Budapest Chapter is pleased to announce that the next PMPub will take place on 19th September 2017 at Közgarden!

The event’s topic is “Backward education; from Operations to Project Management” where the participants will have the opportunity to overview related challenges. We will have an open discussion about what are the interesting aspects of looking at project management specifically from an operations perspective. A Project Manager and the Operations team are similar to a relay team, one taking over the baton from the other. However, this team work starts to become exciting when the individual players are measured against different and sometimes contradicting KPI-s. We will look at the factors that can make this handover challenging and what can be done to make it as smooth as possible. We will look at how project management and operations culture interact, and spice it with organizational, cultural and environmental perspectives.

The topic will be discussed with Dr. Olusoji Owolabi, Project Manager at ITSH, who will share his thoughts regarding the above topic. At the PMPub we will discuss on a practical level some of the key elements that we all face every day as practitioners.
