Reviews for "The PMO Lifecycle: Building, Running, and Shutting Down"
Congratulations on your latest book. Although I've written numerous plans, policies and procedures, I never had much desire to write a book on project management. My boss, when we had a project to build two buildings and renovate seven others in the 1980s, asked me to write a project management book with him. I refused because I knew he would have me write the entire book and then take full credit for it. He was a political/social climber and used people that way.
As an undergraduate, I learned PERT from a little programmed pamphlet about 20 pages long in about a half hour and really liked it. I worked for the department head and he shared it with me. From then on, I believe that process learning like that was the best way to learn. Much better than dry textbooks. I taught courses in statistical quality control, project management and introduction to computing in for universities before my last job in administration at Texas Southern University. I used PERT for my doctoral program and finished in 2 1/2 years. Everyone wanted to read my program plan to see what I did.
Like you, I embraced computing. I got my hands on the first edition of Microsoft Project. I found it a bit inadequate. Later, for our University operations I developed a database program that I entitled, Facilities, covering many aspects, including project management.
From your bio, I see your books are the well-received. Online, interactive books… like that programmed learning pamphlet, are the future of education. To know how to do something these days, I only have to Google it.
The most difficult thing that two humans can attempt is to communicate. No, not talk, communicate! Most relational problems are either caused by or aggravated by a failure to communicate properly. Learn how to do just that, communicate. See how much
