Forum Presentations

At our annual Dekker PPM Forum™, guest speakers are invited to deliver presentations on topics and issues that they face in project, program, and portfolio management. These speakers include members of the IT, government, aerospace, entertainment, product development, and many other industries. Most of them are Dekker customers, and their presentations serve as public statements reflecting their experience with Dekker tools and services. Below you will find some of the highlights from Forum presentations over the years.
