Building meaningful and productive relationships to raise performance and develop your team members.

Are you confused by all the project management tools available?  This presentation by Jeff Manhardt explores the transformation of project management through innovative tools.

Join us for an engaging talk with Pauline McKeown on “The PMI MORE Framework – Reframing Project Management Strategy for Success.” Pauline will break down the MORE Framework in plain terms and show how it helps leaders and project teams make smarter choices, focus on what matters, and deliver results with less noise and more clarity.

BIO:

Chauntisse Poindexter brings deep, hands‑on expertise in scaling agility, shaped by years of leading complex technology delivery in technology leadership at organizations such as FedEx and M&T Bank. Known for her clear, no‑nonsense perspectives on agile, she is a vocal advocate for practice, outcomes-driven agility and value-focused flow.

SUMMARY:

In this session, Chauntisse breaks down why many organizations struggle to achieve true adaptability.  Drawing from her field experience, she illustrates how agility is fundamentally a systems discipline focused on flow, decision latency, and reducing variability – not just a set of ceremonies or tools. The talk will also highlight the role of women in agility and sharing her experiences as a women leader that gave her successful outcomes. 

The event will take place in Innovation Conference Room A and B.
