Why Every Smart Organization Need Project And Portfolio Management?
Delivered by James Price
Every project and program manager wants their projects to come in on time and within budget. Unfortunately the reality of this still remains problematic, especially as the Singapore economy is expecting some challenging times ahead.
In this fast paced session, we look at Microsoft tools to help you manage your projects and specifically time saving activities. In addition, we look to the near future and see what Microsoft will be doing around the IoT (internet of things) and integrating this with project management. Don’t miss out.
