(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?
(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.
This past week, I made a presentation for the Washington, D.C. Chapter of PMI. During my visit to DC, I met a very interesting gentleman by the name of Mike Hannan of Fortezza Consulting. Mike is a book author and CCPM aficionado who had just finished reading my book Managing Projects as Investments: Earned Value to Business Value.
We had a long conversation about how the Total Project Control (TPC) approach fits in with CCPM and agile. And yesterday I received Mike’s email directing me to his very favorable and insightful review on his blog.
Mike writes that the book “represents a great leap forward for the project management (PM) discipline… (T)he value considerations that it highlights are everywhere in the PM world, and are in fact central to any effort to maximize the return on any project investment… Unfortunately, the practice of making such informed tradeoff decisions is far from common, and that is precisely what Mr. Devaux seeks to change with this wonderfully illuminating book.”
You can read the whole thing here.
If before or after reading the review, you’d like to read my comments, you can find them here on my TotalProjectControl.com blog.
Fraternally in project management,
Steve the Bajan
