I’m very excited to be in Dallas this week to speak in person at the 15th Annual University of Texas Dallas Project Management Symposium. This is a great event every year and I couldn’t be happier to have been asked to speak. My topic is: Is the Era of the Project Management Office at an End? Which I’ll be presenting on Tuesday, May 23rd. If you will there, please say hi!
When I started in the project management industry in 1984 the concept of a baseline was nothing new. Indeed, it was a critical element of the first major client deployment of project management software that got my business and my career underway.

It’s quite flattering to find myself featured in the October edition of the PM World Journal.

The article is the result of my speaking engagement at the University of Texas Dallas this year at the Annual Dallas at the 14th…

Some were small, some were big but everyone had common experiences and challenges. It was quite unlike anything I’d ever been…

I was delighted to be interviewed by Nathan Latka on his top entrepreneurs podcast. Nathan is a high-energy interviewer who is great to meet with but really wants you to know your numbers and be ready to be challenged. You’ll find the whole interview on Youtube at: https://youtu.be/QmmVu2GD0hA.

This conference focuses on hundreds of top Software as a Service company founders of all sizes. I’m one of only 60+ speakers so I’m a small part of something big but it’s still great to be able to meet folks there and tell a bit of our story at HMS Software. The conference is…
When under pressure, we all tend to retreat to that which is familiar. That’s not just in project management. It’s true everywhere. I’ve been studying a bit of Abraham Maslow thanks to some other ideas I’ve been working on associated to Maslow’s “Hierarchy of Needs”. In 1966, he was quoted in the Psychology of Science as saying “I suppose it is tempting, if the only tool you have is a hammer, to treat everything as…
