![]() It is hard to find a PM who has never heard of Max Wideman, a legendary figure and a guru of the PM Universe. Max was the President of PMI in 1987 and later the Chairman of the Board in 1988. More interestingly to all of us here, Max is the “Father of PMBOK.” He was the Master PM who launched PMBOK at its birth. Max led a team of PMs to write the first ever PMBOK that was published in 1987. For this gigantic effort and Max’s other contributions, Max received PMI’s Distinguished Contribution and Person of the Year (1985, 1986)

I am a civil engineer by profession. I knew that I wanted to be a civil engineer ever since my first project at the age of seven. That was digging a hole in the soft sand of one of the beaches on the coast of southern England and watching it fill with water from a rivulet issuing from further up the beach. Since then, I’ve dug a lot of holes and filled them with a lot of things like sewage plants, railway lines, water and ships, as well as hospitals and tall buildings. #: 62

I enjoyed the Institute more when it was run almost entirely by volunteers for the benefit of the members. I don’t find that to be the case today. I make a point of not contributing to the technical exchanges for two reasons: Firstly, because I don’t like the copyright restrictions imposed on contributions, restrictions that I believe to be inhibitive of quality work. That is not to say that the Institute has not done a lot of good work, it has. It is to say that it could do a lot better. Secondly, because they probably would not take any notice anyway and I should lose the unfettered right to my own material. #: 27
Do not underestimate getting the MRA survey completed for the final stage of the PgMP process. Unless all your raters are under the same roof, I found it difficult to verify who had completed the 74 question survey and who had not. #: 15

Introduction We all develop and apply lessons learned in many activities throughout the day. We gladly exchange information about successes and failures with others so they can benefit when the activities are repeated in the future. Unfortunately, when it comes to project management, many organizations don’t have the time, discipline, or procedures to properly document lessons learned. #: 14

Introduction Business Continuity Management (BCM) comes into play only when a disaster occurs. Unlike the usual meaning of “disaster” in English, in the context of BCM it simply means, “any event that causes an essential service to be interrupted”. #: 54
BPR (Business Process Reengineering, also know as Business Process Redesign) is “the analysis and design of workflows and processes within and between organizations” (Davenport & Short 1990). OK, so what does that mean? We’ll have to go back about a century to see how it all began. #: 3

This is a fascinating topic, I really strongly feel I should so this tonight, because – let’s face it – unless we are motivated in some way then we probably won’t achieve much at all. In fact I tried to start an “apathy club” on PMHub.net and I got just one member. #: 4

The “Hawthorne Effect’ was extrapolated from, and some years after, research performed by Professor Elton Mayo and his team, in the Hawthorne plant of Western Electric, between the years 1927 and 1932. The research attempted to measure the effect of changing physical setting of working conditions on staff performance. It is suggested that the Hawthorne Effect affects outcomes because the subjects of an experimental intervention are aware that they are being observed and because they are receiving extra attention. Experts are divided on the veracity of the Hawthorne Effect, whilst others accept the conclusion, but reject the experiments as an unsuitable means for proving it. |
