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.
