PM & SE Roles in Projects & Programs

How do the roles of the project/program manager, the systems engineer, and the technical lead intersect? What are the differences and how can defining and implementing the roles at project initiation can mitigate project and program risks? Our speaker will answer these questions and more at our return from summer dinner event.

Project Management books will be given away as door prizes. And one lucky attendee will win free dinner meetings for a year! Click Here for More Details

Summer, Networking and Running

What a summer so far. Last weekend it was 105 degrees (both days!). For people reading this from the west coast, that’s not normal for us. When it’s that hot here in the southeast, things actually melt, including humans. Coincidently, it just so happens that I am training for my first ½ Marathon. That’s where you run 13.1 miles with a million other people for no particular reason (to quote Forrest Gump). I think it would make more sense if someone or something was chasing you. I purchased all of the high tech gear. Things with names like Hydro Belt, Halo Headband, and lots of things to eat that start with words like “energy”, "power" and "Zone". I think you gotta have all this stuff if you’re really serious. So far I am up to 9.2345 miles as my personal best and that was on a 95 degree day. Not bad huh? Truth is it almost killed me. At mile 9.2345 my legs just quit working. My arms were still going back and forth, but nothing from the legs. I then had to walk/crawl another 3 miles back to where I parked the car. A kind of personal "walk of shame".
