Prolog Certification Spots Selling Out!
We have received a fantastic response to this year’s Prolog Certification program—already selling our initial 40 spots. As a result, we’ve expanded the program. Twenty more Prolog users can now validate their Prolog expertise at this year’s conference. But hurry! Our first 40 spots have sold out, and these 20 new spots will sell out just as quickly.
Follow the link above to download a flyer with all of the details on Prolog Certification. Use the flyer as a reference for important dates and test preparation; pass it around to colleagues; and use it to better inform your organization about the great value of Prolog Manager Certification. After that, head to the conference registration site to reserve your Prolog Certification spot!

Process Maturity Matters
By Aaron Smith, Editor, Projects@Work magazine, August 2005
An organizational project management study demonstrates the clearest link yet between improvements in project management capabilities and effective project delivery. But most organizations still have a long way to go in developing a consistent approach to managing all their projects.
