Enabler Projects: Exploring More about Their Value and Opportunities

My previous blog article “How to Determine the Expected Value of Those Crucial Enabler Projects!” generated quite a lot of interest and discussion in some LinkedIn Discussion groups. I joined in those discussions, but felt that some of it was important for those who don’t happen to be members of those groups. (I wish the discussion had taken place in the Discussion FORUM on the blog site.)

How to Determine the Expected Value of Those Crucial Enabler Projects!

I just posted a new blog article: "How to Determine the Expected Value of Those Crucial Enabler Projects!" In it, I explore the uniquely valuable nature of such projects and the potentially huge value/cost of the impact of time on the value they return through acceleration/delay of the benefits of the other projects they enable. And I show this impact through the example of a simple construction project.

Collaboration Across Time: All in All, Just Some New Bricks in PM Innovation

I just posted a new blog article about collaboration and innovation in PM. It was inspired by two things:



#1. I've been reading Walter Isaacson's book "The Innovators" (which I strongly recommend). In it, he talks about how collaboration is often "across time", with innovations being tweaks to the previous theoretical framework.



#2. A friend and colleague sent me an email that made the point that almost all PM ideas must have been thought of and used at some point.

PMBOK® Guide Sixth Edition: What New Things Would You Like to See Included?

Sometime in 2016, the next edition of the PMBOK® Guide should be published by the Project Management Institution. Every past edition has added new concepts and techniques. What are some of the things you would like to see covered in the 6th Edition?



I have just published a new blog article listing ten items I’d like to see added, an explanation of each, and a rating of how likely I think each is to be added. You can find it here.

A CCPM Aficionado's Review of Managing Projects as Investments: Earned Value to Business Value

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.

Building a Winning Project Team

The whole is equal to the sum of its parts. Likewise a successful project is founded on a strong team made up of proficient team members. The question is: do you know how to build a team into an efficient unit that is able to take on the project at hand? Here we talk about leadership, accountability, energy and much more http://ow.ly/Oro6K
