Program Objectives: This Project Management Training boot camp is a 3 1/2 -day training program designed to enhance knowledge, develop skills, and provide tools to successfully manage a MAXIMUS project. Aligned to current internal policies and resources within MAXIMUS, the boot camp will also incorporate Standard Operation and Analytics (SOA) references and Project Management Institute's Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) methodologies and standards. There will also be a review of the PMP guidelines and information provided on how to pursue this valuable certification. Note: This event is not training for the PMP exam; the objective is to provide you with the information and tools to become a successful PM at MAXIMUS.

Travel Arrangements:

Costs for the program will be the responsibility of the participant's organization. Airfare and Hotel will be charged to the individual's appropriate administrative budget for the sponsoring organization.

1. All attendees requiring flight arrangements should utilize the GetThere Self-booking Tool (SBT) or submit a travel request form, and a profile form (if you haven't previously submitted one to the travel department or completed it in GetThere SBT). Access to GetThere and/or the travel documentation can be found on MAXnet under Corporate Travel.
2. Each attendee will need to provide a personal credit card to hold their room and will go through the employee reimbursement process for incidentals. It is recommended that you check-in to the hotel on Monday, June 17th, and plan for checkout at noon on Friday, June 21st.

Meals:

Breakfast and lunch will be provided each day, and there will be a networking mixer on the evening of June 19th. This is a valuable networking opportunity for project managers to personally meet corporate leaders and shared services contacts, and we encourage you to take advantage of this unique event.
