I don't think I could do that. One day was enough for me, and by the end I have computer withdrawals. Five week hey? I don’t think I could do that.

I'm amazed at how many so-called professionals don't even know the magic triangle of project management! In I.T. though, it is renamed to Quality - Price - Time. I did the basic Six-Sigma course, so what else is needed to be the black belt? I rather enjoy your articles as they are put very well with logic, which is something greatly lacking.
