We'll be having our second PM in the AM in Westside Portland this month and would love for you to join! We'll be talking about job search tactics as well as general PM best practices as well as having lots of opportunities for networking and growing your community.
Roundtable - Agile PM (Virtual)
The Agile PM Roundtable is a collaboration between PMI and AgilePDX. This virtual forum seeks to build connections between the Agile and Project Management communities and strives to create an inclusive environment for people with open and curious minds. This Roundtable alternates between speakers on Agile-related topics to a Lean Coffee style format facilitated by experienced Agile PM's and instructors.
The Roundtable typically meets the third Thursday each month. Meetings start at 7a and end promptly at 8a, and the meeting room usually opens 15 minutes before the official meeting start time to allow you to hang out and talk with colleagues. Please register at https://www.meetup.com/agilepdx-user-group-portland-metro/events/ and dial in from your device with your favorite early morning brew. A Zoom URL will be provided to confirmed attendees. Feel free to post questions to this meetup prior to the event on the MeetUp site.
The February topic is, "Managing Your Job Search as an Agile Project".
We welcome divergent opinions and experience reports. Bring your challenges for feedback and support from the group.
