Page 2, Q1. How satisfied are you with the PMI Minnesota Chapter’s recognition of new members and recognition of PMI credentials earned bymembers?

1 I am a new member Oct 18, 2013 4:48 PM

2 The MN Chapter has become very active. Webinars are great. Oct 15, 2013 3:07 PM

3 I've not been very active but that will change now that I graduated from school. Oct 14, 2013 8:02 AM

4 I am not aware that this takes place. Oct 13, 2013 9:50 PM

5 I have not seen them, although I have not necessarily been looking either. Oct 13, 2013 8:53 PM

6 Didn't know new members were recogonizes. Oct 11, 2013 8:32 PM

7 I have seen the credentials on the website just by browsing but as far as new members I don't remember really feelingrecognized as a new student member as of this September, I believe.

Oct 11, 2013 10:36 AM

8 I never saw my PMP credential (earned in May) acknowledged. Oct 11, 2013 8:57 AM

9 Not engaged Oct 11, 2013 8:43 AM

10 I have not gotten involved yet but would like to. Oct 11, 2013 8:17 AM

1 New Member - have not found time that works with my schedule yet. Would like to attend if possible. Oct 21, 2013 3:10 PM

2 I travel Mon-Thur for my job so I can't commit to events in advance Oct 20, 2013 6:14 AM

3 Just joined Oct 16, 2013 8:17 PM

4 My work schedule has made it difficult to attend. Oct 16, 2013 9:36 AM

5 I have a pretty busy life and don't set aside the time to engage with PMI MN. Oct 15, 2013 7:55 PM

6 I'm new, and simply haven't made it to an event yet but absolutely plan to in the near future. Oct 15, 2013 9:26 AM

7 Just joined in October. Oct 14, 2013 8:23 PM

8 Location. Oct 14, 2013 6:20 PM

9 They generally do not fit well into my schedule as I work full-time and am in the Masters of Project Management programthrough SMU.

Oct 14, 2013 10:19 AM

10 Timing Oct 14, 2013 9:08 AM

11 They are far away from where I live, mostly in Bloomington. I might try a dinner! Oct 14, 2013 8:54 AM

12 The dinners always being on Monday make it hard for me to participate as I have an ongoing commitment on Monday's.It would be nice if the day of the week could rotate occasionally.

Oct 14, 2013 8:11 AM

13 I haven't found anything that I'd be willing to attend in an evening. I would have attended the CAPM/PMP training, but itwasn't the right timing.

Oct 14, 2013 7:42 AM

14 I just joined PMI-MN a few months ago and have not had time to go yet. Oct 14, 2013 6:58 AM

15 health issues prevented me from being more active. Oct 13, 2013 11:15 PM

16 The few events that I attended the year prior did not offer me new information; the topics were geared for entry-level PMsand I have over 10 years experience.

23 I just joined Oct 11, 2013 5:31 PM

24 I have only heard of 2 so far in my few months as a member, and have been unable to attend either, as a combination oftiming and cost.

Oct 11, 2013 4:24 PM

25 Not enough time or money over the past 12 months and I haven't been a member for that long either. Oct 11, 2013 4:13 PM

26 I have only attended webinars. Physical meetings are located at inconvenient venues I cannot get to. Oct 11, 2013 1:59 PM

27 Dinner meetings moved to Plymouth. Workload/hours prohibit commute to Plymouth for dinner meetings. The value of themeetings is not worth the stress of the commute to attend them. I do most of my PDUs online via webinars and get whatI need.

Oct 11, 2013 12:31 PM

28 Full-time work, full-time college student, and parent of school aged children. In addition, I've recently started a newposition. Location of events is a factor for me. I live in Hudson, Wisconsin so events scheduled in St. Paul orBloomington(evening) are my only potential options.

Oct 11, 2013 9:14 AM

35 Time commitments are in other areas for right now. Oct 11, 2013 8:45 AM

36 Location is not convenient to where I work and live and topics are not that interesting to make it worth the effort of going. Imiss the networking social aspect before the dinner meeting as everyone now attends the before sessions.

Oct 11, 2013 8:43 AM

37 too busy traveling w/ new job Oct 11, 2013 8:35 AM

38 The timing has not worked out, however I have attended a couple of webinars. Oct 11, 2013 8:34 AM

39 Distance is too far and work is often too busy. Oct 11, 2013 8:31 AM

40 I love attending the chapter breakfasts, but due to my work schedule, I can only attend the breakfasts on the East sideand now have conflicting work meeting on Tuesday mornings. Wish there was another way to participate in these!

Oct 11, 2013 8:30 AM

41 I have been interested in many of the events, but have a difficult time committing to anything as my job is verydemanding.

Oct 11, 2013 8:28 AM

42 Simply a matter of outside of PMI commitments this past year. I review content sent my way and find interest in topics,however just have not been able to make attendance happen.

Oct 11, 2013 8:22 AM

43 1) A really busy time at work this year 2) Topics not compelling or in my scope Oct 11, 2013 8:14 AM

44 Lack of time. Oct 11, 2013 8:09 AM

11 Western suburbs too difficult to travel to during rush hour, or topics not relevant to me. Oct 15, 2013 1:34 PM

12 1. Distance to event (live in east metro), relevance of topic Oct 15, 2013 1:02 PM

13 At Work, Mondays are often overwhelmed with firefighting. Oct 15, 2013 11:48 AM

35 Time constraint. Most evenings and mornings are busy with other activities. Oct 14, 2013 7:16 AM

36 I was not yet certified, so no big incentive. Oct 14, 2013 7:01 AM

37 Haven't had time to go yet. I work downtown and it seems a lot of the events are in the northern metro and difficult to getto without missing a lot of work.

51 I have attended less this year as I have transitioned to a new career. Also, this was the first year in my PMP cycle, and Icarried over a bunch of PDUs, so I've had less of a sense of urgency.

Oct 12, 2013 10:29 AM

52 Crowne Plaze in Plymouth is to far for me to travel - especially during rush hour from Bloomington. Note: Crowne Plazain Bloomington is perfect location for me since I work 2 blocks away.

Oct 12, 2013 10:20 AM

53 Meetings held by the airport are too far way Oct 12, 2013 8:50 AM

75 Full-time work, full-time college student, and parent of school aged children. In addition, I've recently started a newposition. Location of events is a factor for me. I live in Hudson, Wisconsin so events scheduled in St. Paul or

Page 3, Q8. What changes should the chapter look into in order to encourage your participation in chapter events?

1 Call memebers about the event. Oct 21, 2013 8:01 PM

2 more online options would be great Oct 20, 2013 6:14 AM

3 Assign a mentor for each new perons for the first two events Oct 16, 2013 8:18 PM

4 I like the option of having events recorded so I can watch them when my schedule permits. Oct 16, 2013 9:38 AM

5 More online events would be good and provide more options for attending. Oct 16, 2013 9:31 AM

6 It's not you, it's me. Oct 15, 2013 7:56 PM

7 Please do more educational webinars for PDUs. Also, the local all-day educational events are great, as are PDD. Oct 15, 2013 2:07 PM

8 Try different meeting formats, not just formal presentations. For example, open space meetings, lightning talks. Thiswould be especially appropriate for the Agile Local Interest Group since Agile is about team empowerment.

Oct 15, 2013 1:34 PM

9 More events east or north of metro Oct 15, 2013 1:02 PM

10 Chapter is great at posting and announcing. As a NW burd resident, I will attempt to get to ST Cloud outreach events(equal distant to the blooming ton events with traffic).

Oct 15, 2013 11:48 AM

11 I think everything is great, I get the information for the events, I simply haven't been able to make them yet. So, I'm awareof them so to me the communication is great. The time and schedule is also favorable long term, I just haven't made oneyet.

18 Not sure, once I am done with school I hope to have more time to attend. Oct 14, 2013 10:21 AM

19 Webinars would be great but not for more than the cost of attending the dinner. A low cost or a group webinar ticket (4webinars at $20 would be great).

Oct 14, 2013 9:14 AM

20 Maybe adding a second venue for meetings? Oct 14, 2013 8:56 AM

21 Lunch hour meetings in downtown Mpls. Oct 14, 2013 8:55 AM

22 Continue to hold events at various locations throughout the twin cities to allow for easy of attendance. Oct 14, 2013 8:29 AM

23 Rotating meeting dates would be helpful. Oct 14, 2013 8:12 AM

24 I'm not sure because I've not fully taken advantage of what the chapter offers at this point. Oct 14, 2013 8:05 AM

25 Downtown and south suburb locations Oct 14, 2013 7:20 AM

26 Web cast events so members could attend without traveling to the event location. Oct 14, 2013 7:16 AM

27 None, my goal is to attend at least two this year. Oct 14, 2013 7:01 AM

28 If you can create more events in the downtown area I'd be much more inclined to go. Oct 14, 2013 6:59 AM

29 Location - more central vs. west Metro; Plymouth is too far out to get to a breakfast meeting during rush hour. Oct 14, 2013 6:55 AM

30 Don't know Oct 14, 2013 6:27 AM

31 More breakfast meetings Oct 14, 2013 5:54 AM

32 None. Just have to get back up to speed physically. Oct 13, 2013 11:16 PM

33 Topics geared for senior practioners. Oct 13, 2013 9:51 PM

34 I work 8 to 5:PM. Events need to be during lunch or evenings? Oct 13, 2013 8:04 PM

35 Hold meetings and events in locations that work better Oct 12, 2013 7:15 PM

36 Have more in Moorhead. Oct 12, 2013 2:48 PM

39 of 86


37 Offer low cost / free events to members in evenings and weekends. Examples are round table discussions, "mini"presentations where a PMI member is given a topic and needs to put together a presentation / discussion versus briningin a big name speaker. Particular to Community Outreach look for other community events to get involved in - teamwalks to raise money / other events to help others in the community are examples.

Oct 12, 2013 10:20 AM

38 Better topics for the more advanced PM Oct 12, 2013 8:50 AM

39 Events in the twin cities proper. Many seem far away in the suburbs. Oct 12, 2013 6:43 AM

40 I like the Bloomington location. More opportunities for earning PDUs would be nice (but not if is expensive) Oct 11, 2013 8:39 PM

41 If membership supports it, I'd like to see meetings be held south of the river from time to time. More webinars. Oct 11, 2013 7:43 PM

42 Have events south of the river from time to time if there are enough members on the south end of the cities. Oct 11, 2013 7:34 PM

43 location Oct 11, 2013 7:08 PM

44 external volunteer opportunities. Habitat day, etc Oct 11, 2013 7:05 PM

45 have weekend events Oct 11, 2013 6:31 PM

46 different day Oct 11, 2013 6:15 PM

47 Cost and add events in the evening. Oct 11, 2013 4:15 PM

48 On-line streaming for speaking events and seminars. I know this is already planned, and I will definitely be takingadvantage of these off-site attendance opportunities.

Oct 11, 2013 3:59 PM

49 No suggestions. Oct 11, 2013 3:30 PM

50 Centralized location, or rotate location so everyone has one nearby Oct 11, 2013 3:09 PM

51 Is there a way for the group to do smaller, several teachouts of a topic in several locations- maybe eliminating the meal? Oct 11, 2013 2:00 PM

52 I think you're doing fine Oct 11, 2013 1:59 PM

53 Can't think of anything. Oct 11, 2013 1:19 PM

40 of 86


54 Not Sure Oct 11, 2013 1:17 PM

55 Go back to Bloomington. I enjoy the online. Its not PMI per se, it's how I would rather spend my non-working time. Oct 11, 2013 12:33 PM

56 I am planning on attending more this year, so I do not recommend changing anything on my account yet. Oct 11, 2013 12:07 PM

57 I really like the option of attending by webex - that is a really value-add service! Oct 11, 2013 11:59 AM

58 I think the chapter does a great job -- my minimal attendance is due to personal time and that I am not currently in a PMrole.

Oct 11, 2013 11:55 AM

59 Location (East Metro) and time are always factors for me. Oct 11, 2013 11:36 AM

60 Webstreaming is a good step forward. Speaker only option is also a good idea. Oct 11, 2013 11:31 AM

61 none Oct 11, 2013 11:18 AM

62 Better, more timely, updated website for chapter events and information. Oct 11, 2013 11:08 AM

63 none Oct 11, 2013 10:39 AM

64 It would be great to have the ability to participate virtually for those events that are further away Oct 11, 2013 10:39 AM

65 not sure really, I'm not asking for a free meal or anything. I heard that there was an option for students to attend for freewithout eating the meal but this wasn't an option on the actual sign up.

Oct 11, 2013 10:38 AM

66 more outreach events that are similar to the events held in the twin cities Oct 11, 2013 10:26 AM

67 I would encourage using LinkedIn to communicate Oct 11, 2013 9:58 AM

68 NA Oct 11, 2013 9:55 AM

69 Not sure Oct 11, 2013 9:40 AM

70 Webinars are convenient. Like the Holiday Inn East breakfasts as they are easy to get to - but now they are very few andI am not able to attend because of being out-of-town often

Oct 11, 2013 9:40 AM

71 None Oct 11, 2013 9:31 AM

72 Events in downtown Minneapolis would be more convenient Oct 11, 2013 9:20 AM

73 continue webinars Oct 11, 2013 9:19 AM

74 Mail blast me about the dinner and early registration!!!!!! Oct 11, 2013 9:14 AM

75 None Oct 11, 2013 9:14 AM

76 None Oct 11, 2013 9:10 AM

77 I often see topics for the breakfasts/dinners that take place at the Plymouth location (which, as I've said, I cannot get toon a regular work day) that I would have liked to have seen. I believe there is an effort to make them availableelectronically. However, in lieu of this, could the program be offered again (maybe as one of the sessions prior to thedinner) at the Bloomington location during the next month? I understand that sometimes this will work and other times itwon't.

Oct 11, 2013 9:03 AM

78 I need to make it a priority Oct 11, 2013 8:58 AM

79 I appreciate the changes in locations for chapter events ... it makes it easier to go when it is near where ever I am comingfrom or going to!

Oct 11, 2013 8:57 AM

80 more webinars Oct 11, 2013 8:56 AM

81 None, really- I just need to try to get to some of the evening meetings since the breakfast ones don't work Oct 11, 2013 8:54 AM

82 I would be more inclined to attend events focused on my own industry, health care project management Oct 11, 2013 8:52 AM

83 I am looking to expand my knowledge and the presentations were basically repeating the same information each time. Iam finding the people were not interacting as much.

Oct 11, 2013 8:49 AM

84 Events held in St. Paul. Oct 11, 2013 8:49 AM

85 No change is required for now. Oct 11, 2013 8:47 AM

86 Send teasers earlier for the events. I assume you have the dates set earlier. Oct 11, 2013 8:39 AM

87 The changes do not need to be made necessarily at PMI-MN. Changes need to happen in my schedule. Oct 11, 2013 8:38 AM

42 of 86


88 it's me, not you Oct 11, 2013 8:36 AM

89 Could add teleconferences and/or record the chapter meetings for later viewing. Oct 11, 2013 8:36 AM

90 rotate location around the twin cities Oct 11, 2013 8:35 AM

91 None - doing a very good job. Good choice of speakers. Oct 11, 2013 8:32 AM

92 More chapter-hosted webinars Oct 11, 2013 8:32 AM

93 Sometimes there are speakers and topics of interest at outstate locations but they are not offered in the metro. It wouldbe nice if they could be either streamed live or also offered at a metro location. One example is a Microsoft Projectoverview that was only offered in St. Cloud. It would be nice to have those types of sessions also offered in the metro.More software use classes. PDD days could offer tips for better using Microsoft Project or Excel for managing projects.MNCPA uses Tommy Thompson quite a bit. He is a great, knowledgable speaker on Excel but I don't know if he doesProject.

94 My comfort zone is in and around the Eden Prairie area. The closer to this area the more likely I am to attend. Oct 11, 2013 8:32 AM

95 Additional outreach opportunites Oct 11, 2013 8:31 AM

96 Again more a time management issue on my end. I'm looking into what is available. So I expect to take advantage offuture events.

98 I am in your webinars. Oct 11, 2013 8:24 AM

100 Better notification Oct 11, 2013 8:21 AM

101 Start morning meetings earlier. Oct 11, 2013 8:20 AM

110 PDU's - Oct 11, 2013 8:07 AM

111 Make the topics more appealing - more fun with the knowledge. It requires really good speakers to do that. Perhapshave primary contacts in large companies who can also talk up attendance in their groups.

Oct 11, 2013 8:07 AM

112 Increase live web streaming of meetings Oct 11, 2013 8:06 AM

42 I attend so this question doesn't apply to me. Oct 11, 2013 1:19 PM

43 I enjoy staying connected. I may return to chapter events if work returns to "normal". I have had several high impact/hightouch projects back to back and would consider returning. Mondays are typically my night to catch up on project plansand baselines. I would rather skip the meeting and get to bed before midnight.

Oct 11, 2013 12:33 PM

74 I would like to but just haven't been aware of what is going on. Oct 11, 2013 8:21 AM

75 On-line resources could still benefit users not able to attend meetings in person. Oct 11, 2013 8:16 AM

76 I want to stay informed on what's going on in the event I am able to adjust my schedule to attend. Oct 11, 2013 8:11 AM

77 Inexpensive way to stay connect with the local PM community (augments PMI membership). As a new member, plan toattend events in the future.

Page 4, Q10. Please rate the value to you for each of the following activities/programs available as a result of PMI Minnesota Chapter dues ($30/year) paidby Chapter members.

1 I tried to use the career section to post my resume. It asked for another password that I didn't have and couldn't find. Istill can't figure out how to post.

Oct 18, 2013 2:13 PM

2 I haven't heard about most of the items on this list, so I marked N/A. However many of them sound interesting andworthwhile.

Oct 15, 2013 1:37 PM

3 Sorry - but I can't log into PMP MN - told to use my int'l PMP, but it does not work. Called twice and no one could helpme at PMP MN

Oct 14, 2013 9:42 AM

4 Cannot really comment on social media as I tend not to use it - except for LinkedIn. Oct 14, 2013 9:27 AM

5 Chapter does a great job with the PDD/Symposium events! Oct 14, 2013 8:14 AM

6 I have found the website difficult to navigate, but it appears to be improving. Oct 13, 2013 11:17 PM

7 Look for more opportunities to engage members to earn PDU's with a low cost / no cost solution. Engage membersthemselves to do discussions / presentations along with the traditional "big name" speakers for breakfast and dinnermeetings.

Oct 12, 2013 10:24 AM

8 I'd like to see improvelments to the website Oct 12, 2013 9:56 AM

9 Didn't knoq about new member buddy or mentoring. Those sound good. Again, cost of events is a problem. Oct 11, 2013 8:44 PM

10 The PDD was amazing this year! Oct 11, 2013 3:34 PM

11 Thanks for a great chapter and available educational opportunities! Oct 11, 2013 11:57 AM

12 many of these I'm not familiar with. I kind of wish you had different option for new member orientation. The first chapterbreakfast I went to, I met someone who never had went to the new member orientation. Maybe many others in thechapter think that the new member orientation is not valuable. My main reason for not going was schedule conflict.

Oct 11, 2013 10:41 AM

13 The website is not visually appealing and is awkward to navigate. It looks like a very old site, perhaps a new initiative isneeded to upgrade and update it.

Oct 11, 2013 10:01 AM

14 I put neither satisfied or dissatisfied for the seminars because I have attended a couple terrific ones and a coupleboring/dry ones so my feedback is mixed. Also, there were several items on this list with which I am not familiar.

15 Just send me an email. I don't do the social media gig, I don't want to fish for normal info, just send me quick remindersand I can go to the web for more info.

Oct 11, 2013 9:23 AM

16 My employer does not allow access to social media, so this adds no value to me. Oct 11, 2013 9:22 AM

17 Wasn't aware that there was a new member buddy program or new member orientation ... since I was a new member thisyear, I would have thought that I would have heard about these ...

Oct 11, 2013 8:59 AM

18 Need more Saturday events even if half day. It is really hard for me to take off during the work day to attend an event. Oct 11, 2013 8:51 AM

19 Although I live in Metro area, I am delighted the chapter has the Outreach programs within the state/eastern ND andhope these will continue to expand.

Oct 11, 2013 8:45 AM

20 I was not aware of the new member buddy and have never been able to attend the new member orientation since theyare only offered at dinners.

Oct 11, 2013 8:41 AM

21 Never experienced New Member Orientation Oct 11, 2013 8:41 AM

22 Honestly no clue there was a "new member" program. Don't know if it existed when I joined a couple years ago... Oct 11, 2013 8:29 AM

23 It would be really great to create some form of outreach community program that would tailor communications to thisgroup on getting involved. I would think there could be more done in this area - including expanding webinars, outreachmeetings, book clubs and perhaps participating in montly meetings.

Oct 11, 2013 8:09 AM

24 The website looks really, really, really old. Like 1990s. Oct 11, 2013 8:06 AM

Page 5, Q13. If PMI MN were to send out an electronic welcome packet to new chapter members, rank the importance of each of the possible contentsfrom 5 to 1 with 5 being very important to 1 being not at all important.

1 personal invitation to the chapter meetings Oct 19, 2013 7:59 PM

2 Video of how new member can get active/ involved right away, at various levels - from attending brkfast / dinner mtgs, tocareer networking, Local Interest Groups, to all the volunteer opportunities. The Board structure seems separate andinformational only to a new member.

Oct 16, 2013 8:23 AM

3 Again, as a new member this year - issues with loging into the MN PMP site - told same credentials from int'l PMP shouldwork but do not.

Oct 14, 2013 9:44 AM

9 Please make sure all info is current and links work! Oct 11, 2013 8:52 AM

10 It would be good to have the information but I don't know if I would take the time to watch a video. I would be more apt towant an instructional sheet.

11 Walk through of resources on PMI.org that extends available content from PMI-MN Oct 11, 2013 8:26 AM

2 In person also applies. Oct 14, 2013 9:03 AM

3 But hard to make in person events due to scheduling conflicts Oct 14, 2013 8:16 AM
