For the first time ever, PMI will be launching OPM3 Fundamentals (OFC), a training course offered through PMI SeminarsWorld. 

This two-day course offers a foundational overview of the best practices in Organizational Project Management as identified by the new OPM3 — Second Edition global standard. OFC courses will be held in the Washington, DC area August 10-11. 

These new OFC classes, which offer 14 PDUs, help individuals elevate their careers by becoming project management champions for their respective organizations.

The Summer 2009 "PM in the AM" breakfast lecture at the National Press Club sold out a week early.

The topic that touched such a nerve? "Agile or PMBOK--You Can Have Both" with David Sides of ESI. 

Attendees learned how both traditional and Agile methods and techniques compliment each other, when to use traditional vs. Agile methods, and how to use "Achieved Value" (AV) instead of "Earned Value" (EV) to measure the value of project delivery.

The next PM in the AM event is September 23rd at the Press Club. Hope to see you there!  For more information, and a copy of David Sides' presentation, visit www.pmiwdc.org/PM-AM
