Harbors Training: Project Delivery Excellence for Public Agencies
By: Juli Chun
On January 16-17, the Harbors Division participated in the “Project Delivery Excellence for Public Agencies” training at Pier 19. Project management is the practice of initiating, planning, executing, controlling, and closing a project. The group of 58 participants had the opportunity to learn about all the aspects that make project management so essential and received tools that they can implement into their current and future projects. Some highlights of the training included: • What are the traits of the best project manager? • How do you manage workflow properly?
• How do the personalities of your team members determine what happens on a project? • What is a “good” schedule and how to get it? • How do you successfully negotiate a design contract? • How do you effectively run the pre-bid and pre-construction meetings? • What does “completion” really mean? We would like to thank Jay McRae, PE, MBA for presenting 2 days of sharing his extensive experience in operations, program and project management. The Harbors team really learned a lot and gained valuable knowledge that will help them succeed in their jobs.
