		<description><![CDATA[I was recently joined by best selling author and Management guru Tom Peters to discuss his perspective on the Toyota recalls.  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>

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>
