What makes a project manager effective? There's no "how-to" guide for managing projects and there typically isn’t just one right way to manage a project. So how can a project manager prepare for repeatable success in every project?
Michael McCaffrey, Senior Project Management Consultant at Deltek, has worked with countless firms in the AE space to explore this exact topic. In his experience working with project managers across the country, he’s discovered a few key qualities that successful project managers have in common.
Join us for a presentation that will cover:

- The significance of seeing the big picture while still getting your hands dirty
- Ways to encourage individuals without diminishing the importance of team work
