December 3, 2012 by Patrick Gray Leave a Comment

I’m frequently asked how to improve one’s project management skillset. Are there additional coursework or specialized certifications one should acquire? Is there a particularly beneficial project management framework or book that should be on every PM’s shelf? Has some esoteric formula or calculation revolutionized a project with which I’ve been involved? The answer to all…

The Professional Project Manager?

November 19, 2012 by Patrick Gray Leave a Comment

My wife and I recently moved into a new house. As one might expect, and much to her chagrin, our move was complete with project plans, Gantt charts, and occasional family “status” meetings, all perks (or pains in the you-know-what) of being married to a consultant who has spent too many years around projects.

The Dangerous Pursuit of Perfection

October 5, 2012 by Patrick Gray Leave a Comment

There’s a misguided notion afoot in project management and many other business activities that perfection is the ultimate goal of any effort. I come from a technology background, and IT execs spend hours considering how many “nines” they should strive for in terms of system uptime, with “5 nines” representing 99.999%.

September 28, 2012 by Maha Bouzeid Leave a Comment

It’s Friday afternoon and my male colleagues all went for lunch.
