PLSIG - Project Communication

This meeting will be held at the Abromson Center, USM, Room 214 (second floor). Driving directions are here.

Project Communication: If It Ain't Broke, It'll Fix Anything that Is

We all talk about communication, but we don't really communicate about it and we often don't do it well. Good communication is the essence of good project management, and poor communication produces poor project management. Since we're doing it constantly, whenever we're within sight, sound or Internet range of other people, it deserves more attention.

This presentation, based on 25 years' exploration of the issues, provides the opportunity for project managers to examine the lessons of their own communication experiences. It offers workplace-based practices for establishing and maintaining sound communication, and for using communication to head off project problems.

About the Speaker: Jim Milliken, a Portland-based independent consultant, specializes in project management, workplace communication and personal productivity. He holds the Project Management Professional certification of the Project Management Institute, and regularly conducts an eight-day project management curriculum at the University of Southern Maine.
