Zelda Jones
Texas, USA
Zelda Jones, PMP has over 20 years of project management experience in a variety of industries including courts, research and development, telecommunications, and health. Zelda has become increasingly aware that stakeholders often base their project decisions on flawed reasoning, personal agendas, and misinformation. Therefore, stakeholders don’t always make the right decisions for their projects. In random conversations with fellow Project Managers she learned that the predicament is widespread due in part to the project management culture of providing exactly what the customer wants (and pays for). She urges PMs to work with their stakeholders to promote fact-based decision making for the best outcome of the project. A graduate of North Texas State University, Zelda earned her PMP in 2006. She is a 7 time presenter at the UT Dallas Project Management Symposium. She lives in North Texas and frequently travels for business which allows her to pursue her hobby, Geocaching. She is a member of Texas Search and Rescue (TEXSAR).
