Calendar of Events

The PMI Keystone Chapter wants to connect with PMI members, project managers and the project management professional community to drive the field of project management forward in the Harrisburg area. 

We hope you will join us at our regular monthly meetings to learn how you can expand your network and collaborate with us to create and share consumable content, tools and resources.

The feature presentation will be as follows:  

TOPIC:  Decode Project Management: Get Your Game On!

Participate in PMOtraining’s exclusive game that explores the project management framework implemented in organizations around the world. This workshop is the most fun you can have with the Project Management Institute’s (PMI’s) Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK®) Sixth Edition, a global gold standard which is now 750+ pages, but that PMOtraining has condensed into just ONE page and made into a game. This session is rated “E” for everyone! Whether you are simply curious about the PMI way, are currently studying for the certification exam, were certified under a previous PMBOK edition, or are a seasoned professional, you will walk away understanding the latest version of this complex process in only an hour and have fun in the process too. For a preview, watch the post-session video recap from the 2018 ISPI Annual Conference in Seattle, WA here: https://www.pmotraining.com/gaming.

This session is co-sponsored by Computer Aid, Inc., Lively, and the PMI Keystone Chapter, with take-home materials provided free of cost to the first 32 attendees who pre-register and complete the gaming session.
