Debrief on PM QA meeting with Israel Ruiz on 9/15: September 15, 2011 Presentation On PM and QA
- project reviews
  - quarterly forum for project updates
    - this seems to have value in particular for Marilyn
    - this is information sharing
    - should all of sr staff attend?
    - provide project status (similar to sponsor updates)
    - every PM would answer same questions
    - should all PMs be present for the whole thing?
    - limit projects reviewed?
  - monthly learning forum
    - change brown bag format to be less top down
    - open to any and all staff
    - need to develop topics based on what staff are interested in
  - monthly help forum
    - needs to be timely
    - possibly like a "project pipeline"
    - focus on specific projects
    - what is PMBAs role in this?
    - ideally all PMs participate
    - this is the place that PMs talk about issue and help each other
    - stable of experts you can consult at any time (coaches/mentors)
    - focus on leading projects and improving delivery
- community of practice
  - revisit charter for PMBA by early October
  - is focus traditional PM or accidental PM or both? don't want to water it down to much
  - could this group evolve into something more?
- how do we offer incentives to staff for executing correctly?
- do we have the skill sets to comprise that "stable of experts"?

- dedicated PM resource
  - needs to be some one who is doing the work
  - do not want to recreate something that we tried before
  - does this feel to much like a PMO?
  - project review/community of practice
