Primavera(R) Seminar Series to Take Place in 20 Cities This Spring; Will Highlight Success Stories in Airport, Public Transit and State DOT Construction Project Management

PHILADELPHIA, March 13 - Primavera Systems today announced the launch of a seminar series that addresses the difficulties transportation professionals face in updating the nation's aging infrastructure in the face of inadequate funding and a shrinking pool of skilled labor. Experts at the seminars will present project management practices that have proven successful in other transportation organizations.

 

The series, "Transportation Project Management: Best Practices for Delivering Tomorrow's Infrastructure," will be offered in 20 cities throughout spring 2007. The seminar, targeted at transportation owners and contractors, highlights best practices that Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, Bechtel-Tubelines and the Utah Department of Transportation have employed to deliver their projects early and under budget.

  Seminar topics will include:



  -- Key emerging industry trends that impact transportation construction

     projects

  -- Examples of successful change management, contractor/owner

     collaboration and standardization of business processes through

     technology

  -- Real-world case studies illustrating how standardized project

     management can significantly improve project performance

Developed in conjunction with FMI Management Consultants, Primavera will offer the half day seminar in cities across the U.S. Attendees will be eligible to earn continuing education credits equal to 4 PDUs from the Project Management Institute (PMI) and there is no cost for attendance.

"In today's changing construction environment, owners and construction firms need to redefine business processes and practices in order to do more with less. It is essential that they adopt project management best practices and develop new means of collaboration to deliver projects on time and within budget," said Richard Sappe, Engineering & Construction Industry Market Manager at Primavera. "Our goal is for attendees to leave this seminar with concrete practices that they can immediately use to make their projects and programs more successful."
