Chapter UpdatePMIGL Provides Research Guidelines & ResourcesPMIGL has developed Research Guidelines that provide details necessary for developing a research proposal that meets the rigors of a scientifically valid study. It provides the necessary details for the recruitment of participants, collection of data, protecting individual privacy, avoiding conflicts of interest, data security, and whom to contact for support on the development of appropriate research design. It also provides guidelines for publishing in the Project Management Journal as well as other pertinent information that will assist in publishing your results. The Manifesto also provides links to resources that may be helpful in developing a research topic and getting published.

Quality in Project Controls Panel Discussion September 29 - 4:30 - 5:30 pm As Construction Project Managers we know that Scope Management without a proper Construction (Resource) Plan is impossible. All project-related activities are derived from a Construction plan (CP) and must always be generated first, or as PMPs know it as a Project Management Plan. In a collaborative team, the way CP is communicated is through a Schedule and it serves as a vehicle for work structure decisions to be communicated from the GC to the subcontractors. As the project becomes more complex, the quality of this planning is diminished and usually requires more resources such as the bigger Project Engineering Department to perform all the required Project Controls. 2020 PMP® Prep Classes Saturdays, October 10, 17, 24 and November 7 - 7:30 am - 5 pm Register for the September PMP® Exam Prep sessions.
