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>

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 Lazymale is our first guest blogger on pm411.org.  But don&#8217;t let his name fool you &#8211; he keeps busy as a Program Manager at a software services firm where he manages a team of 50 people both offshore and in the United States.  Yet he still has time to keep up his own blog at www.lap31.com!  Lazymale describes his lap31.com blog as being about &#8221;laps in this race of a lifetime&#8230; of the laps we covered and the laps that remain&#8230; of struggles, commitment and leadership&#8230; of teamwork and trust&#8230; of learning from mistakes to creating success stories and winning&#8230; Are we prepared for what&#8217;s ahead?  Are we ready to lead?&#8221;  You can reach Lazymale at lazymale@lap31.com.
