The future of Project management Through the Eyes of the Past

A Project Management career wasn’t always a career.  It once was just a hobby that technical people did in their spare time.  How did we get from hobby to career? & what’s next?  Lee Lambert will spare no detail.

This presentation will share the experiences of someone who has been there through it all.  More than 45 years of involvement in PMI has exposed the good, the bad and the ugly. The fact that PMI has grown from one single Chapter in the United States (Houston) to more than 300 chapters worldwide is a testament to the success of this career transition.  Why has this happened?  What will happen next?  We have gone from basic project scheduling to comprehensive integrated project planning to an Agile explosion that has had the impact of a 7.5 quake on the Richter Scale and we aren’t done yet as AI is threatening to change everything (again)

Following the presentation, attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions.
