Build a project plan – of course!

You are invited to join Larry Gagnon, a Project Management Professional (PMP) share his story of fulfilling a dream 17 years in the making. Listen and learn as Larry applies project management practices to participate in the Hawaiian Ironman World Triathlon Championship!
