PMI Budapest Chapter is pleased to announce that
the next PMPub will take place on 28th February (Tuesday), 2017,
17 hour at Közgarden!

The event’s topic is “continued relevance of project management skills and methods in organisations now and in the future" where the participants will have the opportunity to overview related issues and questions.

The topic will be discussed with Nigel Killeen, PMP, ex-Business Solutions Design Manager at Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling Company (CCHBC), who will share his experiences and thoughts about the role and importance of project and program management in organisations.

According to PMI’s 2016 Pulse of the Profession™, fewer than two thirds of projects fail to meet their original goals and project intent. More critical is the money that continues to be wasted when projects aren’t managed well- US$122 million wasted for every US$1 billion invested due to poor project performance, a 12 percent increase over last year). Never before has there been such an important place for the skills and practices learnt through the project management profession. No matter what role you play in the organization, knowledge of PM practices is an invaluable asset to bring to the organization, big or small.

Our special guest was Albert Quraishi, who is the RED Sky program manager in Vodafone Hungary from Virtusa, who shared his thoughts and experiences about “the role of PMO and Agile methodology in large scale IT programs – and how things can go wrong”. The moderator of the event was Julianna Czifra, program manager also from Vodafone Hungary.
