The Transformative Journey from PMBOK 6 to PMBOK 7

Fantastic guest speaker, and PMICVC V.P. of Operations, Marion Karol delivered keen insight of the differences between the PMBOK 6 and 7 versions.
The event, held at Park Lane Tavern in Fredericksburg, provided an excellent in-person experience that drew over 20 PMICVC and InCose Members.
Key items covered:
  • Understanding the key differences between PMBOK 6 and PMBOK 7 
  • Learning how we can use both PMBOK 6 and PMBOK 7

We wish Marion well as she's making a big move with a new employer, and will begin to transition her PMICVC role to another volinteer board member of the Operations Team. Those interested in volunteering with chapter volunteer roles are encouraged to each out. Thank you Marion! We wish you the best!
