Topic:

Project Management, CAPM certification and New Book

By  Frank Reynolds, CAPM, CDP

Frank is co-author of a book to prepare for the CAPM Exam

He wants your help to define its prequel

Frank Reynolds co-authored with Diane Altwies “Achieve CAPM (Certified Associate in Project Management) Exam Success:  A Concise Study Guide and Desk Reference.”  Its aim is to help individuals who work in projects pass the Project Management Institute’s entry-level exam.  The exam is for those who provide expertise to projects as well as those who aspire to be project managers.  Frank will briefly outline the nature of the CAPM and PMP certifications and how his book will contribute to professional success.

Before people can aspire to project professionalism they need to learn how to juggle operational, upkeep and project assignments typical of today’s workplace.  Frank sees in this environment an urgent need to help those who’ve never been trained in project participation tasks, knowledge and skills.

The balance of Frank’s presentation will discuss a proposal for his publisher to service this audience.  The working title is:   “Excelling in Your Project Assignments:  From Scrums to Dispersed Teams to Mass Collaboration.”  Your comments will help Frank shape the proposal focusing on the future book’s content and potential market.  In conversational exchange you will be able to influence his project at the start.  This will be Frank's 15th presentation to AITP Orange County Chapter since 1992.

Frank Reynolds, encouraged by publication of his first book, wants your help him define the book that he intends to publish this time next year. Frank will listen to your reactions to the title, the topics and the audience for the book. He will use his draft project charter to elicit your expectations as a potential reader of this new book. In a conversational approach you will be able to influence his project at the start. This will be Frank's 15th presentation to our group since 1992.
