About US
Our History
The Duke Project Management Community of Practice (PMCoP) was organized in 2017 with primary support from the NIH-funded Duke Clinical & Translational Science Award (CTSA), which is housed administratively in the Duke Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI).
Informal discussions across Duke made clear the need for a “home” for people working in project management: a survey found that nearly 600 Duke employees have at least some project management responsibilities.
Many of these individuals, however, are in isolated pockets and may be the only project manager in their workgroup.
By connecting project managers and creating a robust community, we can learn from each other, enhance our individual and collective success, and support one another’s development.
Who Are We?
The Duke PMCoP is a home for all at Duke and the Durham VA Health Care System who are passionate about helping achieve project goals, whether through the formal or informal use of project management best practices. Our membership is broad – many of our members are certified Project Management Professionals (PMPs), many are not, and we work in a variety of fields — but we are all committed to ensuring that our projects are on track, on budget, and on time and that they meet exceptional quality standards.
If you want to learn about project management, contribute your own knowledge, and interact with others who share your interests and professional responsibilities, this is the group for you!
