The Dark History of PM | A Process Reframing Workshop
Details
Your PM role has some pretty dark roots.
Shocked? You shouldn’t be.
From Gantt charts penalizing plantation workers during slavery to big data squeezing faster production out of digital teams, project management’s main job is to eliminate waste and make teams work faster and more productively.
But at what cost? And what can we do to create more sustainable practices in our roles today—because we have more power than we think and we have a responsibility to use it wisely.
Join Rachel Gertz for this workshop to explore the dark history of PM and some of the ways we can flip the lights back on in our PM world.
Whether you’re a ‘works on bridges and buildings’ type of PM or a ‘works on applications and brands PM’, you’ll walk away with tons of practical ways to restore balance (and hopefully sleep a little better at night).
