Drew CraigSr. Agile & Product Coach| VanguardPhiladelphia, Pa, United States
Today is the day! PMI's 2017 Scheduling Conference. Please share your expectations and experiences.
Favorite session? Speaker? Any take-away's you found to be, or potentially be, the most valuable?
Sessions: - Building a Scheduling Center of Excellence in the PMO, Michelle Colodzin Gunsher, PMP, PMI-SP - How to Achieve More Accurate Project Schedules in the Future, Joe Lukas, PMP - Agile Scheduling with Rolling Wave Deliverable Roadmaps and Backlogs, Johanna Rothman - CPM vs. Agile Scheduling and Emerging Trends, Brian Evans, PMP, PMI-SP, PMI-RMP - Project Controls Using Integrated Data – The Opportunities and Challenges, Patrick Weaver, PMP, PMI-SP
All great and relevant topics. Kudos to PMI for putting together such an event.

The two that will be the most relevant for me at this time will be 'How to Achieve More Accurate Project Schedules in the Future' and 'Agile Scheduling with Rolling Wave Deliverable Roadmaps and Backlogs'. I expect both to provide more immediate value and take-away's. Actually pretty excited. Saving Changes...

Vincent, I second your comment. The one thing missing for me was greater emphasis on having a good quality plan - resource loaded - before a projects progresses through to the next phase; particularly where significant funding and internal resource will be committed.

Always been a challenge using CPM. The webinar by Joe Lukas was really a great refresher. Interesting how he prefers F-F relationship over F-S in various cases. Need to play around a little with MS project again a little. Saving Changes...
