I’m very proud to have been named a top 10 Icon Leader of 2024 by Industry Chronicle Magazine. It’s no doubt because of the 40 year anniversary of HMS Software which I lead and the 30 year anniversary of the TimeControl timesheet system we created to which we owe so much of our success. The award is meaningless without acknowledging that any leader isn’t a leader unless he or she has a team to lead. …
Over the years I’ve been interviewed in the media a number of times. Sometimes it’s very simple, sometimes more involved. I will be making more of an effort to get all these media connections here onto the EPM Guidance blog. Here is the latest. I was recently interviewed on the XRaised podcast and got to talk about the 40 years of leading HMS Software and the remarkable 30 year history of TimeControl. You can see…
I was recently interviewed by Business Talk Magazine about the 40 years leading HMS Software, and making it into a leading publisher of project management and project timekeeping systems. It was fun to describe the evolution of TimeControl over 30 years from version 1.0 in 1994 to the soon-to-be released version 8.6.

It’s always great to be interviewed to talk about HMS and TimeControl and how the company has evolved over the last 40 years. This time the interview can be found on TrepTalks where I talked to Sushant Misra for almost an hour about the business and the trends in the software and project management industries.

I confess that I’m old enough to have used such a typewriter to get my papers done in college. But perhaps that helps make it still a bit of a thrill to see my words in print. This week, the PMWorld Journal had an article I’d written called Is the era of the Project Management Office at an end? Even if you don’t find my article that interesting, there is much more for project managers…
You would think it would be easy. After all, timesheets mostly look all the same don’t they? Well, that’s often true but the front end of the timesheet isn’t the challenge. Mostly timesheets look like a grid and you enter hours or some value in columns and rows. It’s once that data has arrived into the timesheet that it becomes more challenging. A timesheet might be used by an end user for 5 or 10…
I was delighted to be interviewed once again by CEO/CFO magazine. I last talked to them about a year ago so our focus was on what we’ve accomplished at HMS Software in the last year. I talked about our recent release 8.4 of TimeControl and the market reception of our new TimeControl Project.

It’s quite flattering to find myself featured in the October edition of the PM World Journal. This is a scholarly publication filled with the writings of people who have been in the project management world for some time and has always been a key source of information and education for me. The article is the result of my speaking engagement at the University of Texas Dallas this year at the Annual Dallas at the 14th…
I had a remarkable experience in Austin, Texas with my friend Nathan Latka and 500 of his closest Founder friends at the #founder500. The Founder500 was a remarkable conference where I was privileged to speak as one of the keynote speakers. This was an unexpectedly awesome collection of hundreds of founders of SaaS companies. Some were small, some were big but everyone had common experiences and challenges. It was quite unlike anything I’d ever been…
