| | May 2009 - Project Silence and Withholding Information |
| |
Presenter: David Perkins, PMP - Assistant Professor of Business, Ken Blanchard College of Business, Grand Canyon University
Topic: The withholding of information has been studied extensively in organizations. Most of the research in project management has focused on the withholding of information by project team members.
This presentation will address the phenomenon in a different way, i.e., from the perspective of a project manager's propensity to withhold information. Historical literature from other disciplines will be reviewed and how it has informed project management communications research. Then, recent research in project management communications will be discussed. Implications for practicing project managers will then be offered.

| | Mar 2009 - The One-Page Project Manager |
| |
Presenter: Clark A. Campbell
Topic: Critical importance of simplicity and the use of The One-Page Project Manager™
Clark Campbell is the author of The One-Page Project Manager, the #1 best selling Project Management book, outside of PMBOK/PMP Certification. In his presentation, Clark will discuss the critical importance of simplicity and the use of OPPM to address the chronic project management challenges:
- The need for Intuitive/Efficient/Sufficient Communication on Project Status of every size
- Microsoft Project, Primavera®, and other software packages are necessarily so capable and therefore so complicated that they are not used by most project managers
- Training required for these tools is extensive and expensive
- The great majority of projects are relatively small in scope, time and cost. One does not need a Union Pacific train engine when a good trailer hitch will do

In 2008 the team laid sixteen miles of pipe from 2700 East to 9200 West, most of it along 3300/3500 South.
