		<description><![CDATA[The best time to market your project to your organization is at the very start, in the project charter. It is the best chance you have to tie the project into the organizational strategy and to explain its value. Yet the charter is one of the least talked about deliverables in project management.

This material helps you market your projects by preparing a great charter. Learn how simple a good charter can be. Understand how this document can help build executive support and provide documented authorization for your work. Focus on creating a lasting, respectful bond with your senior managers or executive sponsors. It all starts with the charter.

Presented at PMI 2005 North America Congress in Toronto, Ontario, Canada on September 12, 2005. Presented again at a meeting of the PMI New York City Chapter on February 15, 2006.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Published in the PMI FSSIG newsletter, Fall 2001.

Reviews the role of certification in financial serives. Suggests that Project Managers in this industry should look to their industry's regulatory organizations for certification, not just the Project Management Institute. A combination of PMI certification and banking-, insurance-, or brokerage-specific certification will be more valuable than any program PMI could reasonably develop on its own.]]></description>
