Speaker: Robert Pettis The Business of Project Management
From 8AM - 12PM

 

Description	PMI-OC is proud to present Robert Pettis, BSEE/MBA/PMP.   Robert will be speaking on the business of project management.  Attendees will learn to perform a project financial analysis by working through group and individual exercises leading to a decision regarding which project mix in a portfolio will produce the most cash and value for the company. Attendees will also learn how to: • Build a cash flow chart and diagram including working capital, salvage value, and depreciation and its effect on income tax • Determine net present value, payback period, maximum exposure, internal rate of return, and maximum justifiable project cost • Deal with the effects of risk and uncertainty (reliability, validity, level of precision, accuracy of analytical outputs, business type of the project, utility of the assets of the project and useful life of the project) by performing break even analysis, multi-dimensional sensitivity analysis (such as through Monte Carlo simulations) and decision trees.   Robert Pettis, BSEE/MBA/PMP, has over thirty years of industrial work history as a project manager in hardware product development Engineering Operations for products and services involved in aerospace, computers, in-circuit test systems, electronic power supplies and uninterruptible power systems, and electronic instrumentation.  Throughout his experience in these areas, he has found that there is a need for successful project managers to develop financial insight and analysis to help executive management to: • Address a wide variety of project concerns. • Make better project selection decisions. • Use tools effectively to justify project change requests. • Determine where best to dedicate scarce resources to produce the greatest returns. • Understand the added economic value that projects make to the business bottom line.
