This article, How Change Management Fits Into Projects , first appeared on Girl's Guide to PM. Way back when I started managing projects, change management was a specific role in large organisations. Big projects – and lucky project managers – had their own Business Change Manager. This person’s role was to integrate the change delivered by a project into the operations of the company.

Project Stakeholder Management There are many ways to engage stakeholders. You can facilitate discussions in your project meetings. A business analyst may elicit requirements. The lead tester may develop a team for testing. Let’s look at a different form of engagement–the use of an internal blog. Engage: occupy, attract, or involve (someone’s interest or attention).

I meet many people in both my professional life and my private life including Brian (name changed) who was the owner of a medium sized company. We met at a social function and he kept me enthralled with his story. I will give you a very much abridged version below. Lost computer data proves very costly.

This article, How to Create A Checklist to Speed Up Tasks in 3 Easy Steps , first appeared on Girl's Guide to PM. Before I had children I travelled a lot. My job took me all round Europe. My husband travelled for work as well, and we’d often meet in odd places just to guarantee seeing each other – Majorca, Malta, Antigua. I enjoyed it, but I didn’t like the stress of packing at short notice because my boss wanted me in Barcelona tomorrow.

Manage changes to projects or initiatives within an organization on both a technical and human level. Project management is the process of supervising a project team through a series of tasks that ultimately reach completion of a defined goal with a specified target date for completion. On the other hand, change management is intended to support an organization’s adjustment to the changes due to either internal processes or external factors.

Scott Adams continues to hit the mark when it comes to the dysfunctions plaguing the corporate world. His latest Dilbert comic strip inspired me to write about a common challenge facing those organizations who are moving from a project-centric to a product-centric delivery approach, namely developing effective product owners. The funny thing is that this is not a new role – go back a couple of decades and it was common to have senior managers responsible for making the majority of decision

I’ve been a “professional writer” for nine years. You’d think I’d be able to effortlessly crank out the words by now. But, if we’re being completely honest with each other, I’ve spent 15 minutes on this intro alone. It’s a slog. Every. Time. Writing is a hard skill to master (and that’s coming from someone who does this for a living). And just when you think you’ve got it, you find yourself staring at an ugly first draft, wondering where the magic went.

What really is project management governance? With countless articles and books in the business spectrum conveying such practice, project management governance is in the sense, subjective. There’s no correct description of it and it’s safe to say that individuals or groups who employ and encounter project management governance have developed their own understanding of it.

“Dear Elizabeth: I’m unhappy in my current job. I think it’s time I made the leap into another company. The main reason behind my unhappiness is the lack of flexibility in my current role. I’m stuck at my desk all day. I’m thinking that freelancing as a project management consultant might be a good solution. What do you recommend I do?”. You’d actually be surprised at how often I get asked this, so you can at least take comfort in knowing that you aren’t alone!

As an Indian, the cricket bug bit me early on with hours spent in games of street cricket, local club games and watching games on television with my friends.

In this blog I hope to share my views on lessons project managers can learn from the game of cricket.

When we say “a conflict within the team”, we do not mean a superficial quarrel about what should be ordered for lunch. Oh no. By team conflicts we mean those rooted misunderstandings that are on the way to become “apple of discord” that will break your team into tiny “impossible-to-reattach” pieces, costing your company money and manpower. Similarly, we are not going to waste a lot of your time on constructive conflicts.

In the agile community, there is always some comment or opinion about how hard it is to define what the requirements are. How we can't possibly estimate the work since all the work is emergent. If this were the case in practice, we'd all be working on death march projects, with no end in sight, no idea of what Done looks like. Here's the way we work projects using agile development practices.
