Project Management Day of Service (PMDoS2024)
Webinar Overview:
This year in conjunction of PMIMY 30th Anniversary, we bring over Project Management Day of Service (PMDOS®) first time ever to Malaysia !! Five participated organisations are submitting their problem statements, and we are seeking volunteer consultants to help evaluate these submissions and provide valuable insights/solutions into helping resolve these problems for them.
What is PMDoS?
Launched in 2015, the Project Management Day of Service (PMDOS®) started out as a one-day community service event in a single location in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area. It has been launched at locations across the U.S. and around the world including: Hampton Roads, Virginia; New York City; Atlanta, Georgia; San Francisco, California; St. Louis, Missouri; Brisbane, Australia; Melbourne, Australia; Sydney, Australia; Wellington, U.K.; Wellington, New Zealand; Auckland, New Zealand; and Gdansk, Poland.
PMDOS® events provide nonprofits with pro bono (free, professional) project management services to help them address their most difficult challenges.
We do this by bringing together local project managers (PM volunteers) with nonprofits who are passionate about serving their communities.
The PM volunteers help the nonprofits to scope and plan projects that enable the nonprofits to do more to serve their communities.
How is Works?
Each nonprofit is paired with a team of experienced project managers through a “matching” process.
Additional subject matter experts (SMEs) from various professions (e.g., marketing, finance, technology, etc.) may also be available for consultation as needed.
Project managers and nonprofit representatives spend one or more days (depending on the location of the event) scoping and planning a project to address a critical need of the nonprofit, and the nonprofit leaves with an actionable plan.
