The Project Management Day of Service (PMDoS) is a FREE one-day problem solving event where charities and not-for-profit organisations are matched with project management and business analyst professionals. Together, participants will discuss and diagnose a critical problem and then scope out a project to help address and overcome the issue.

The PMDoS is the signature event of PMI Sydney and Project Management for Change (PM4Change), a non-profit organization whose mission is to raise the profile of the Project Management profession while furthering the missions of the non-profit and charities in our local communities.

Monday 2nd November 2020 from 9 am to 4 pm

This virtual event will be hosted and coordinated by University of Wollongong using Zoom in conjunction with the PMDoS team.

A virtual event is an online event that involves people interacting in a virtual environment using a video conference tool, e.g. Zoom, rather than meeting in a physical location.

This will be a full day, eight hours session.

Yes, you are welcome to register. We will provide training, briefing and guidance to all participants prior to the event.

The basic requirement is an internet connection. It hasn't been finalized as yet, but most likely, our event will be conducted via Zoom. This tool has a version that can be downloaded and used free of charge.

Members of the professional team will interact with their assigned charity within the virtual environment. It will not be a face to face interaction.

However, if members of a charity decide to be in the same location for the session, e.g. charity to organise for their team to attend the online session in their office, they take full responsibility to comply with all COVID19 guidelines for any group meetings.

Likewise, if some professionals assigned to the charity decides to be in a single location, then, again, they take full responsibility to comply with all COVID19 guidelines for any group meetings.

White boards and flip charts used by either charities and professionals will be shared and shown on the screens which will be visible to both parties.

Training will be provided to both charities and professionals and this will be explained in more details.

Once you are selected, training sessions will be arranged, and this will be explained in detail
