Welcome
If you are visiting with an interest in Business/Project Management,
I invite you to browse my commentary. I offer these topics and
opinions to hopefully enrich your perspective on this discipline.
My
intention is to provide you with a brief professional view of some
of the areas that significantly affect project
management, to encourage your interest and pursuit of a more effective approach to managing your
projects and your business.
The
information presented is based on
Project Management Institute's PMBOK® (Project Management Body
of Knowledge) guide,
industry-recognized management sources, and
over
twenty years of personal work-related experience.
If I am able to
assist you or your business associates, be assured
my services will be delivered with high standards of professionalism.
It will be my pleasure.
Project
Management Institute's PMBOK® encompasses "... the sum
of knowledge within the profession of project management. As with
other professions, such as law, medicine, and accounting, the body
of knowledge rests with the practitioners and academics who apply
and advance it. [It] includes proven traditional practices that
are widely applied, as well as innovative practices evolving in the
profession." (Project Management Institute, 2004).
The PMBOK® is recognized
as a foundational reference for, but not limited to,
senior executives,
program managers, project managers, functional
managers, consultants, educators, and other stakeholders.
As we develop our
understanding of business/project management, or any discipline, let's
remind ourselves to seek objective expert counsel.
A quality professional will certainly earn or save us more than
the cost of hiring the professional. Qualified guidance
greatly enhances our decision-making processes; it benefits our
stakeholders, our team members, and ourselves.
