My goal in writing
With my writing I try to help executives to be more effective and successful when it comes to delivering business value through projects.
I strongly believe every organization can dramatically improve its ROI on projects by implementing the following four things.
1) Effective Project Portfolio Management
2) Active Project Sponsorship
3) Clear Project Success Criteria
4) Project Management Capabilities
On the first three I have written books:
> The Art of Technology Project Portfolio Management
> The Art of Project Sponsorship
> The Project Success Model
Project failure case studies
I try to learn as much as possible from other people’s mistakes. That is why I study project failures and write case studies on them. You will find this collection here.My viewpoints in a nutshell
I hate writing conclusions almost as much as I hate writing intros—because I’m all about getting to the point.That is why all my articles just end with a summary of the key point(s) called “in a nutshell”.
Below you will find 7 of them that will give you a good view on how I think about delivering business value through project and portfolio management. Clicking the link will send you to the corresponding article.
