Coming Up: Project Management Training

Jim Milliken's Project Management workshop series is scheduled twice a year each at USM's Abromson Center in Portland and UMaine's Hutchinson Center in Belfast.

The courses are designed for managers and professionals who work in group activities to innovate change and create solutions. Participants typically have been managing such work for some time without formal preparation, and are interested in improving their skills while reducing the time and effort such work takes.

The three-day Effective Project Management course is rich in "Aha!" moments as participants learn common-sense ways to set up, organize and manage complex innovations.

The three-day follow-on course, Implementing Project Management, builds on the basic Project Management design, examining actual projects, identifying problems/solutions, developing plans and practicing the leadership skills that project managers need on the job.
