About Lee
From the project floor to the PMP®.
Lee started in project management at General Electric in 1968. Senior roles at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and Battelle Memorial Institute followed. He helped develop the Project Management Professional (PMP®) certification, which launched in 1984.
His CommonSense Approach to PM grew out of that hands-on experience. It’s how he teaches teams to use project management tools and techniques in their day-to-day work.
