PROJECT MANAGEMENT FOCUS GROUP QUESTIONS

The Bureau of Working Families (BWF) is creating a Project Management (PM) approach for bureau-wide projects. This includes projects that the bureau implements using a team of staff from each section. In order to provide an approach that works best for the bureau, we need your input. Please answer the following questions. Even if you have not participated on a project within the bureau, we want to hear your experience with project management.
