Project Management Institute (PMI), the world`s leading not-for-profit professional association for the project management profession, has announced its second annual Asia Pacific global congress, to be held in Bangkok, Thailand, 27 February to 1 March, at the Shangri-La Hotel, PMI said in a press release.

PMI Global Congress 2006-Asia Pacific will see Chin Ning-Chu, the author of "Leadership According to Sun Tzu`s Art of War", delivering the keynote address on Monday, 27 February. Ning-Chu is touted the foremost authority on the practical application of Sun Tzu`s principles and their applicability to the modern workplace.

PMI promises that the congress will offer three days of timely, relevant information and state-of-the-art tools and resources to keep participants on top of the project management profession, while also offering online and in-person networking opportunities.

In response to increased demand for .NET development and maintenance, Focus has added additional developers to the development centre in Pune, India, says Newswire Today.

Focus continues to utilise the proven onsite-offsite-offshore model to deliver local project management and leverage best-practice-based processes, together with the cost reduction benefits (typically ranging from 30% to 50%) of an offshore model.

Local project management, with a PMI-certified project manager overseeing each project, helps Focus provide clients the communications ease of dealing with a local provider.
