This is a great PM podcast!

I listen to this podcast often as I am a student studying project management and love it.

é excelente

i deeply enjoy this podcast. It keeps me up to date on what's happening in the construction industry and project management. Ricardo is deeply passionate about PMI and it shows. Initially there was a slight language barrier but I quickly got used it. It's not a big deal :)) é excelente podcast :)

Excellent PMP advice!

In these succinct little podcasts, Ricardo Vargas imparts an enormous amount of project management wisdom from his years of experience. Really teaches how PM is an art that uses rigorous tools- but how you use the tools is the key. Perfect length for listening while commuting-I don't have to worry about finding my place again at the end of the ride.
