Woodbridge, NJ, April 29, 2003 - Software Management Solutions, Inc. (SMS), a recognized leader in providing specialized software consulting services to Fortune 500 companies, today announced their participation in the PMI/NJ Regional Symposium hosted by the New Jersey Chapter of the Project Management Institute (PMI).  The event is scheduled to take place on Monday, May 5, 2003 at the Pines Manor in Edison, NJ.

SMS has signed on as both a corporate sponsor and exhibitor for the event, where they plan to showcase their Software Project Management Training curriculum - a suite of courses aimed at optimizing the short and long-term effectiveness of project managers executing software development projects.

 "SMS' new Software Project Management curriculum fills in a critical gap in the project management industry," said Lori Gottshall, Director of Training for SMS, adding, "Not only do we teach essential project management skills in this program, we tailor all of the courses to the unique needs of a PM working on software development projects. This curriculum will be offered publicly and in-house at client locations and will increase the overall effectiveness of the attendees in managing software development projects."

SMS' Consulting and Training Services focuses on implementing effective Software Process Improvement (SPI) programs that positively impact the success of software projects.  SMS also provides extensive training and consulting services in other areas of software development that are critical to a project's success such as requirements gathering, estimation and measurements.

The theme of the symposium, "PM Survival Skills", will emphasize practical, detailed, and participatory presentations by speakers, poster session presenters and vendors.  400+ project management professionals are expected to be in attendance to network and take advantage of this opportunity to share and learn with their peers.

SMS invites everyone to stop by their booth at the Symposium.
