 Max Walker -- Exploring project management in small or informal project environments. About Cottage PM About Max |
I’ve been looking at Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) again lately. I was coaching a new brand project manager on some basics, and found myself once again focusing on the WBS and its value to the PM’s planning and control. The key point I drove home on WBS was that it’s the full scope of the project: [...] [...] Are you looking to certify PMP soon? If so, you may have landed on my blog before as I’ve written about my certification experience and various training and exam prep options that some of my colleagues and I have used.

But I think that a lot of things are really simpler than we make them [...] [...] I recently joined Josh Nankivel at pmStudent e-Learning for a chat about Project Charters. We took a free-form approach and just chatted about charters and compared how they’re used in my small project environment, how Josh used them in former jobs that were in smaller project environments, and how they’re typically used in larger project [...] [...] |
