5th PMI Tampa Bay Symposium: My Experience
Posted By Federico Paini
October 06, 2009| Professional Services , Project ManagementA couple of weeks ago, I attended and participated in the 5th Annual PMI Tampa Bay Symposium and I was impressed by the caliber of the speakers and by the organization of the event.

It had reached that point - actually passed it - when you forget how long things have worked and graduated to expecting them to work, or better stated, depending that they will work.
