10/16/2014 Project Management Webinar Effective project management requires a balance of technical skills (the "science") with people skills (the "art"). Technical skills include areas such as planning, estimating, measuring, and controlling. In contrast, people skills include areas such as leading, enabling, motivating, and communicating. Successful project managers are flexible in applying their knowledge and skills in both areas in the correct combination and proportion to keep projects moving forward. This session will provide an overview of the technical and artistic aspects of project management, including some strategies and tactics for adapting to situations and driving things forward.

The group discussed lessons learned, what worked, and what didn't work based on our experience and then brainstormed new approaches. We encouraged older TCNs to mentor & advise the younger TCNs.
