Project Management Lunch & Learn: 10/13

If you missed the project management lunch and learn (PMLL) earlier this week, not only did you miss a great discussion on project manager expectations, you also missed Topper’s Pizza! The regulars at the PMLL have decided to contribute funds to order-in lunch from different places and move the meeting to Tuesdays, so if you want to participate, get your lunch order in to Stacy by end of day Monday.

You can always join the meeting and bring your own lunch if you don’t like the food choice. The next topic will be Project Manager leadership styles and the lunch provider will be Taco Fresco  http://tacofrescowhitewater.com/eats/

If anyone has topics they want covered or want to lead a discussion, please contact Stacy

Do you ever wonder what projects are active? Do you want to know what was requested and not started? Do you, from time to time, think about what is going on with the projects you heard about at the last Divisional Meeting? If you answered yes, or even maybe, to any of those questions, this Lunch & Learn is for you!

The group will review how to use Eclipse to see the status on any project, including how to search for projects and see what the management team sees each week. Please join us in MG1 with your lunch on Wednesday at noon. The meeting is optional.
