October 2020 Lunch and Learn
“Agile’s Unworkable Fantasies, True or False?” A Discussion with Agile Coach Andrew Soswa
Join us as we get Andrew Soswa’s, Agile Coach, Practitioner, Agile Trainer, perspectives on Agile’s “unworkable fantasies,” namely: “If one takes a training course in Agile “basics”, one will be taught the Agile Manifesto - a brilliant and timeless document - but then one will be taught the Scrum process - even though Kanban is arguably a much better fit for today’s DevOps methods.

Online Zoom Meeting
November Chapter Meeting - Leading Today's Workforce
Today's workplace is unique. Never before has there been four, sometimes five generations working side-by-side. The skills that worked in "Old Story" organizations will not work with today's “New Story” workforce.
Join us as we hear from Martha Bryan about changing the way we view and interact with others so that we can harness the energies of bosses, peers, and employees to produce more effective and efficient results.

Verify Your Renewal Status
Due to COVID-19, many companies are working virtually. PMI is no exception. Due to that, some of the company paid renewals are not being processed promptly. When your chapter renewal is still in the process of being renewed, and it is past the date it should be renewed, you will not be able to access StarChapter, our PMI-CIC.org site management tool. The website pulls the information from the Global database, and that is how we keep everything in sync. One of the things you can do is to check your status by doing the following:
- Sign in at PMI.org
- Check myPMI and click on the down arrow
- Click on Dashboard
- In the dashboard you will see the following information: Title, Your Company, Email, Member ID, Membership since, Membership Renewals, and the Chapter you belong to.
If you find your email address, company or title is wrong you can change those in your profile & settings section. This information populates PMI-CIC.org.
