		<description><![CDATA[I once described Geoff Crane's Papercut Edge blog like this: "Imagine if Project Management rode the scary rollercoaster and then threw up... That's what Geoff Crane's blog is like."  And Geoff just so happens to also an expert on complex projects.  Especially those projects where the exterminator needs to be called in.  And lucky for us, Geoff is willing to share some of his tips on managing complex projects.

Tom and I also talked about where other major companies such as Dell, Starbucks, Nike, Apple, Google, GM, IBM, Johnson &#038; Johnson, and Honda fall on that elusive spectra known as "Excellence".  By the way, if somehow you have not heard of Tom Peters:  Simply put, Tom Peters is the last of the still living and truly great 20th Century management thought leaders and, incidentally, is more relevant in today's business environment than ever before.]]></description>

In Episode 004 and Episode 051 we discussed the Work Breakdown Structure and how it can help you as a team to clearly document your project’s deliverables.  But once you have completed your WBS, what’s next?  Well the next step is to develop a Responsibility Assignment Matrix, or RAM, using the RACI process.  I think you are going to find this to be a valuable tool to help clarify ownership to various parts of your project.  Soon your entire team will be RACI! Define Activities Process After you identify your deliverables in your Work Breakdown Structure, you will need to define those actions and activities that need to be done to produce the lowest level deliverables.  This is the first process in the PMBOK Time Management Knowledge Area and is known as the Define Activities Process.  In Episode 004 on Work Breakdown Structures we provided an example of a project of doing laundry.  A [...]]]></description>

Share this on Facebook Share this on LinkedIn Post on Google Buzz Email this via Gmail Add this to Google Reader Email this via Yahoo! Mail Today I am extremely excited about a major product announcement from Mindjet, the makers of MindManager mindmapping software.  In today&#8217;s podcast I talk with Mindjet CEO Scott Raskin about a new collaborative Project Management 2.0 tool from Mindjet that is the only platform that combines mindmapping with secure online document and file sharing, secure workspaces,  integrated web chat, and web conferencing technologies. The visual nature of Mindjet’s information and idea mapping application (mind mapping) efficiently captures and organizes complex ideas and processes—from the big picture down to the smallest details—in a way that is easy for everyone on a project team to comprehend. It makes it possible for teams to quickly arrive at a common understanding of any given issue, opportunity or project, and then easily engage with the most relevant information to turn ideas into action. By combining these unique and proven benefits of information and ideas mapping application with online document and file sharing, secure workspaces and fully featured web conferencing, groups can now overcome [...]]]></description>

As a project manager, you are responsible for managing the efforts of your team to insure that your project deliverables are met.  But how do you manage one of your most important project stakeholders &#8211; your own manager? I am not talking about manipulating your manager, but rather making sure you are successful in meeting her expectations.  We usually know what we need to do to get our job done as a project manager, but do we know our manager&#8217;s needs?  How can we insure that we are meeting her needs? I will go through some tips on how you can improve your relationship with your manager by &#8220;managing upward.&#8221; Tip #1:  Know your manager&#8217;s goals Your manager has goals and you should know what they are.  You should know exactly what your manager is responsible to deliver to her boss.  Unfortunately, most of us spend a lot of time thinking about our own immediate goals [...]]]></description>

Mail   Today’s editorial is from Pawel Brodzinski, hailing from Krakow, Poland. His experience in software development covers positions in both rank and file and management roles.  He’s been working in quality assurance, software development, design, support, and implementation teams.  He’s been managing different teams from small group of testers up to an ERP system development department.  Being a part of a software development process is both great learning and great fun for him, yet sometimes it&#8217;s quite challenging.  Pawel also enjoys writing about his experiences with managing software projects at http://blog.brodzinski.com.   Most of the opinions you can hear about agile are either strongly for or strongly against agile methodologies.  Since balanced opinions are rather underrepresented and I&#8217;m usually far to treat anything as a panacea, my take on agile is neither black nor white. It&#8217;s gray.   From the very beginning, I’m providing a small disclaimer for those who aren&#8217;t familiar with my approach: I don&#8217;t advocate any specific methodology.  I know there are [...]]]></description>

Mail Finally the Olympics are over and I can get back to producing podcasts again on a more regular schedule.  Today&#8217;s episode is part 2 of a roundtable discussion held not too long ago with Cornelius Fichtner of the Project Management Podcast ( www.thepmpodcast.com) and Shawn Futterer of the International Community of Project Managers (www.theicpm.com) on managing small projects.  Cornelius, Shawn, and I continue our discussion from part 1 with topics covering how to effectively use part-time or inexperienced team members, our experience using Critical Chain Project Management, or CCPM, with small projects, and which is more critical for businesses, small or large projects. Show Commentary When sharing project team members with other project managers, Cornelius would work with other project managers within his organization to share resources.  They would work together to meet both their individual project goals, but also with a focus on their company goals.  This is better than those situations when the functional manager makes the decision for you on your project priority.  [...]]]></description>
