#: 175

When you consider that there are roughly 389,726 PMPs and just 11, 458 CAPMs it’s easy to question the value of the CAPM. In fact, I’m often reminded of the scene in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off where Ben Stein calls for Bueller. The CAPM just doesn’t have the same sexy allure as the [...] Related posts:

I spent five weeks diligently preparing for it, studying about 2-3 hours a night. After hearing horror stories about how difficult the exam really is, I actually think I might’ve “overstudied” as I found the actual exam to be refreshingly easy.

#: 14

To a project manager there are no sweeter words than, “This project is finished. Signed, sealed, and delivered.” But as my dad used to say, “Joe, that grass isn’t going to mow itself.” In other words, the projects get done in the doing. Projects, like mowing the grass, are done by people, and [...] Related posts:

Projects are comprised of phases. Typically the completion of a project phase creates a deliverable and allows the next phase of the project to begin. Smaller projects often only have one phase so the completion of that phase creates the project deliverable and allows the project to end. Phases are comprised of work [...] Related posts:

eBay is an interesting model of commercial life. If you haven’t tried buying and selling on eBay, you really should, as you can learn a lot about buying, selling, marketing, distribution, and so on. Importantly, you can also learn something about stakeholder expectations. When I was in high school [...] Related posts:

Expectancy theory is a frequently misunderstood topic, so I thought that I would post this brief note for clarification. So often I hear people say that it means people will work harder if they expect the project manager to reward them. If this is what you think, then please read on.
