On the whole PRINCE2 is an invaluable qualification to have behind your belt, being an established toolkit, recognized worldwide and the European standard project management qualification. Whether you’re a fan or not, a unifying qualification has numerous advantages as it gives a standard project management approach and allows a common project language. On the other hand: there are a lot of people making money out of PRINCE2 training so you’ll hear about the wonderful benefits all too often.

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>

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 Okay, so I just got around to watching the debut of the new CBS reality show, Undercover Boss, which I recorded after the Superbowl on Sunday evening. I am really not a fan of reality shows, although I did watch the first season of The Apprentice back in 2004 since it had project managers competing to secure a single lucrative position of overseeing the building of Trump International Hotel and Tower in Chicago, Illinois. After watching the first few episodes of The Apprentice, I actually felt anxious.  I think that The Donald’s continual criticizing, interrupting, and “you’re fired” climaxes of each board room episode of The Apprentice struck a little too close to reality for me.  I have never been fired, but I have been in my share of meetings and board rooms where politics are at play, people’s defenses are bristling, and at times career paths are changed.  I have found that these corporate situations often have an appearance more like a scene from [...]]]></description>

Alec is a project manager and organizational expert with a passion for fixing workplaces. As a trained therapist, entrepreneur and Information Technology professional, he seeks to infuse environments with order, process and sanity. During this past decade there were several advances in how we get our email&#8230;  Email became easier than ever with Gmail and email became truly mobile with devices such as the Blackberry and iPhone.  And perhaps even several benevolent princes were able to find you through email so you could help them by keeping their fortunes as they were deposed. During this past decade, books like Getting Things Done by David Allen and email applications like Microsoft Outlook have tried to help us organize our email inboxes better.  But, today many of us are overloaded with work and we [...]]]></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>

Way back in Episode 004, I discussed one of the key building blocks of a successful project, known as the Work Breakdown Structure or WBS.  However, it is pretty evident that there is still a lot of confusion in Project Management on whether we truly need a WBS on our projects, how to structure a WBS, and how to use it throughout a project’s lifecycle.  In this episode I welcome back to the show pmstudent.com blogger and WBS expert Josh Nankivel as we dive deeper into the topic of the Work Breakdown Structure. Josh  has recently published a set of training tools called the WBS coach to help those of us that need to know how to create a WBS or those of us that just need a refresher on WBS development.  So is the WBS just…  [...]]]></description>

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>
