A word from your PMICAC President, Eric McKendall:

As we transition into September we prepare for Labor Day and for many of us some much needed time off. I would like to share a few articles that touch on preparation for the CAPM exam, some facts about remote work, dynamics in development of resilient teams, and touching on AI tools in project management.

I hope you enjoy the additional insight offered in these articles and podcasts.
