I worked on a one year contract within the Port Authority Project Management Office along with a Senior Project Manager towards the creation of an updated Project Management Manual. This was a great assignment in many ways. It presented a unique challenge of extracting and assembling bits and pieces of data via input from a large variety of sources, most of which was static data (older PMO books and a mixture of old and new internet postings).

This was a great assignment in many ways. It presented a unique challenge of extracting and assembling bits and pieces of data via input from a large variety of sources, most of which was static data (older PMO books and a mixture of old and new internet postings). All updates had to be reviewed by a special group of PMs to be accepted. They represented 15 key stakeholder departments. I must say that working with this group was a real joy! While a major part of this job was populating the manual, another was drawing out "collaborated" information from this group, who had varied times of availability.While I have helped in other projects, this was the purest "project management" experience of all. I learned much about project management, while utilizing my writing skills as well as all of my social, leadership, negotiation and organizational skills. Since then, I have become a member of the PMI community and hope to obtain a PMI certification in the future. Show less
