Wednesday, August 25, 2010
Abstract
2:30-3:00 p.m. ET Space is limited. Reserve your seat today at https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/883361954. In 2007, McGill University launched an IT Project Management Office (PMO), whose role was to manage strategic university-wide IT projects. In 2008, McGill purchased an enterprise-level Content Management System (CMS). The PMO was chosen to run the pilot project for the CMS, called the eCalendar Project. The eCalendar project promised the delivery of more readable and searchable web-based university course and programs calendars, using the newly acquired tools of the CMS. This presentation will outline how the Project Management Office used methodologies to plan and execute the eCalendar pilot project. We will explore the project structure, organization, and standard project management methodologies we used to bring the project to completion.

When: 4:45 p.m.-5:30 p.m. on Wednesday, January 13, 2010 Where: Essex Room. Find out more about this presentation. "This year’s conference, “Opportunity in Adversity,” will pay special attention to the impact of the broader economic climate on higher education. Although showing initial signs of recovery, the economy doesn’t promise either rapid improvement or a complete return to earlier conditions, even over the long term. Paradoxically, the most innovative, creative, and deeply transformational insights—“uncommon thinking for the common good”—can emerge from such challenging circumstances. This conference will highlight uncommon thinking not only as the path to practical solutions that will allow us to work efficiently in these tough times but also as a way to generate revolutionary ideas that change the very nature of our work. By combining the practical and the revolutionary, this conference will help you turn adversity into opportunity and transform obstacles into stepping stones on your campus." -from EDUCAUSE.edu Click here to learn more about the conference.
