Good News from PMI’s N.A. Congress

Monday, November 10th, 2008

PMI held an OPM3 info session on Saturday, October 18, in Denver, and this time actually had some DATES for achievement of OPM3 marketing goals. Although, they seemed too far away for me. At least they had dates this time! IT was clear from the Focus Group held in Phildelphia, Sep. 15 2008, that users are very upset with the lack of movement by PMI to promote OPM3 in the market place. (A draft summary of the focus group findings is circulating now for acceptance by the focus group attendees - today is November 10, Hmmmmm.

The PMI conducted OPM3 users Forum was held Sunday, October 19 in Denver. Attendance was not as high as registrations showed. (I checked other sessions and found the same thing.

ProductSuite Focus Group

Thursday, August 7th, 2008

Hello everybody,

Jim and I got invited to participate at the ProductSuite Focusgroup session 9th and 10th of Setember. I think, it would be interresting to compile some recomendations and suggestions in this forum.

How can PMI generate more value for the tool as well as for the certification?  What should PMI do about the standard OPM3?

What are your painpoints, sugestions and expectations?  Do you have an interresting case to share?

Don’t let us miss the oportunity this new channel offers us.

Best wishes from Brazil
