President's Message - May 2021
Greetings!
Volunteering is a great way to give back to your community and earn PDU's. Getting involved can deliver personal and professional rewards. I started my PMI volunteer journey by supporting the VP of Certifications when I needed to earn 35 hours of prep for the PMP exam. During the NCPMI PMP prep training program I networked my way into a group of study buddies to get me to the finish line. A definite win-win!
I have volunteered in many different capacities. Some of you may know me for my years supporting membership professional development. I served as the Director of the Annual conference in 2015, two years as a director under Denise Baker, which led to my running for the chapter board position as VP of Professional Development. It is hard to believe that I am now celebrating my 4th year in office on a board of exceptional individuals.
As a volunteer I increased my professional network by over 1.5K of PMI members, authors, speakers, community leaders, and industry professionals. I have attended leadership training through a grant with the Academy of Leadership on the USS NC battleship in Wilmington, PMI Leadership Institute Meetings (LIM) regionally, nationally and internationally gaining skills and building connections that make me a stronger leader, employee, and individual.
The role of a volunteer has provided me with the opportunity to continuously learn, be creative, show grit, share my knowledge and be recognized amongst my peers. As my term comes to an end in December 2021, my hope is that others will consider running for the office of VP of Professional Development, coming away from the experience as I have with pride and confidence in being part of a worthy organization.
Consider reaching out to the chapter election committee and put your name in the hat, you won’t regret it!
I hope to see many of you virtually online this year for our Virtual Annual Conference on August 21st… Yes, it is a Saturday! Our AC Director, Silvia Rodriguez, is teaming up with one of our partners, IIL, to offer you a day filled with great presenters, opportunities for networking, and as always some great prizes! The event will provide up to 9 PDUs, be available on demand for up to 20 days after the conference and at a much reduced rate if you sign up for early bird in May/June!
Support your chapter by attending, encouraging your employers to sponsor the event and invest in the project management profession!
Thank you for letting me serve you for all these years. Do not hesitate to reach out to me with your thoughts and insights on what we can add to better serve your professional growth.
Kindest regards,
Carolyn Evans, PMP, CSM
NCPMI VP of Professional Development

Chapter Meeting – May 2021: “Delight your customers with Four Eyes of Quality”
Abstract:
Project success depends on meeting the project's intended value and benefits, and quality is an integral part of product and project success.
The term "Everyone is responsible for Quality" promotes the quality culture in agile organizations. However, "Who from everyone in the team is responsible for quality" and "What are the boundaries of quality," and "How an agile team member can contribute to quality improvement based on the knowledge and skills" are not prescribed in standard agile frameworks.
This presentation discusses specific quality and testing strategies to achieve product and project quality in an agile environment. The key focus is to divide overall quality activities among the team based on their skills, knowledge, and understanding of the product quality.
Communications and Public Speaking CoP: Session 2: “The Team” on May 25 - "Culture, Engagement and the Future of Work"
Communications and Public Speaking CoP is a part of NC Project Leaders Toastmasters. It is the perfect club where project management, leadership and public speaking skills are featured in a fun, safe, supportive environment.

Grow Your Skills
It is particularly important for Project Managers to maintain and improve their project management knowledge and skills to stay competitive in the market. PMP certification is a critical component. As, during the resent years, project management discipline took a step toward more flexible and dynamic project management methodologies, in addition to the traditional waterfall approach, several new emerging methodologies became in high demand. Thus, training and credentialing in these methodologies became highly sough after among Project Management professionals. It is especially relevant in today's economic climate.
