Max
Wideman has announced the updates to his popular project management
website. According to the email from Max, here are the items added to
his website for September 2010.
As
a project manager you likely spend 70-80% of your time "communicating"
and a large part of that in decision-making. But a large number of
failed or poor project results are due to poor decisions. To improve,
Lev Virine & Michael Trumper, recommend structured decision analysis
in Max's Book Review of Project Decisions: The Art and Science.
When you have read the delightful Winnie the Pooh story in Max's book review, read his Musing in which Max explains "Why is Good Project Decision-Making So Difficult?"
Max's Guest, Jamal Moustafaev, provides copious examples of why organizations need Project Portfolio Management in his paper Part 1: PPM Illustrated
* If you are looking for answers, guidelines or templates, check out Max's Issacons - "Issues and Considerations" - that are presented in bullet form for quick and easy reference by project managers.
