PMI Central Illinois

Products and Projects cost money to deliver. Yet most of us as project, program, product leaders feel disconnected from the financial equation that drives our initiatives. Ironically, executives who own the business case are asking us to justify additional resources and budget.

That tension leaves us with many questions: Why should I shoulder financial justifications owned by someone higher up the organization? How can I juggle getting things done while also owning the business case? How do I answer these questions if my project isn’t even about profit or ROI?

Whether you are an agile product owner or a senior program manager, this provocative session will equip you to champion your project as the best investment of time, attention, and resources. Come learn how to tell your project story, and demonstrate your skills as a strategic project leader.
