Spend a high‑impact hour with the VDOT PMO Director – Roy Soto, as he offers:
• A brief PMO overview
• Sneak peek of upcoming schedule template updates and their continued refinement
• What is all this TPMI stuff I hear about?
But this session isn’t just about hearing VDOT leadership share insights, it’s a forum for ASHE members to contribute their hands-on experience and help identify opportunities to improve VDOT processes. Your feedback plays a key role in shaping more effective project delivery statewide.
And most importantly, let’s make this webinar the starting point for an ongoing conversation about enhancing VDOT’s Project Development Process in alignment with the PMO’s Pathway to Excellence.
