5 Questions about Project Management
with Jeff Haynor
Coffee Talk
Before we leave the office for the weekend, we stop for a quick coffee talk with our project management colleagues to chat about their best practices. Well, not literally, but that's how we designed our interview series "5 questions about project management". To be fast, intense and refreshing like a good cup of coffee.
Today, we’ll talk to Jeff Haynor. He is the CIO of Orion Integrated Information Technology which provides Mac business solutions for customer relationship management and project management. Jeff is known in the Apple Community as the Apple Store Liaison for Daylite CRM & Productivity Suite and Merlin Project.
