On Product Development and More...

Marilyn Bier, the executive director at ARMA International, recently posted an article (entitled "Businesses Still Lag Best Practices in Information Management") that documents the results from ARMA's 2009 Record Management survey (of ARMA International members and information professionals).

Should software startups adopt a formal project management methodology?

This was the subject of a recent online discussion in LinkedIn’s Project Management Institute Group.

I recently attended a project management webinar sponsored by the International Institute for Learning as part of my effort to earn PDUs (aka Professional Development Units) to maintain my PMP (aka Project Management Professional) certification.

During the webinar, the instructor polled the audience about their challenges in managing projects. The participants – made up largely of certified IT Project Managers – cited a number of factors.

Today, I attended a webinar entitled: "Project Management Lessons Learned From The Movies" hosted by Tony Crawford, from AlphaPM. Crawford is a seasoned veteran with over 40 years of experience in virtually all areas of Information Technology including software project management.

Recently, I was talking to a friend who works for a large multinational. The conversation drifted towards Electronic Discovery and Information Management, two topics that I had been living and breathing for the past year.
