Lee R. Lambert, PMP
Lee has established the standard against which others in the field are measured. In 1981, as a result of his pragmatic application of the PM methodologies, he was invited to be an integral part of the creation of the Project Management Institute’s (PMI) Project Management Professional (PMP) Certification Program. He is a recipient of the PMI’s Distinguished Contribution Award and was a member of the PMNetwork/PM Journal Editorial Review team for over a decade. He also contributed as a Subject Matter Expert (SME) for the PMI’s Earned Value Management System (EVMS) Practice Standard. Educated as a Mechanical Engineer, he is a holder of a Master’s Certificate in Project Management from George Washington University. He most recently has been awarded one of the PMI’s highest honors for his ground breaking applied learning programs: The Professional Development Provider of the Year 2007.  As an author of two books and 32 professional papers, no other project management educator/speaker can contend with his uncanny technical knowledge, material content and refreshing and entertaining delivery—his hard-hitting, but humorous style, has mesmerized more than 40,000 students in 22 countries. In May, Wiley Publishing retained Lee as author of PMP Prep A-All-In-One Desk Reference Guide. Lee takes the saying; “Been there, done that, got the T-shirt” to a new level.
