Projects have five main components. Tasks, tools, resources, processes, and people. If any of these five are not aligned with your project's designed outcomes, you risk being off schedule, over budget, or a failed project. In our podcast today, we sit down with Michelle Watkins from Global PMO Partners to talk about the best practices for optimizing these five components to create smoother project management.

Ep 317: How to Spot GovCon Scammers and Con Artists

We live in a world where our government and national security is under constant attack.  The target of these attacks are not simply U.S. Government systems, but everywhere the information may reside.  The U.S. Government has taken an approach to these dangers by requiring the contracting community to protect not only itself, but the U.S. Government from National-State level attacks.  Failure to do so can result not only in a default termination, but in becoming the defendant in a False Claims Act suit. Attorney David Panzer discusses the unique and substantial risks of non-compliance with cybersecurity obligations.
