Topic: PMIAK UAA-MSPM Program Relationship Synergy Project – based on Innovation and Collaboration

Synopsis: The PMIAK UAA-MSPM Program Relationship Synergy Project is about what PMIAK and UAA-MSPM (Master of Science in Project Management) Program are doing to expand their activities for the benefit of the project management community – it is also about how they are executing this innovative and collaborative approach. It describes the framework created to enable students’ participation in projects of the Chapter, organizations and non-profit agencies of PMIAK members. The goal is to change the current situation in which projects are shelved due to time, resources or capacity constraints - those projects can now be executed with students’ participation. Therefore, the number of projects executed in Alaska will increase.
