- Accountability in Project Management
- By Andy Blumenthal. Government Technology, May 12, 2011. "We've all been to 'those' kinds of meetings. You know the ones I'm talking about: The cast of characters has swelled to standing-room only and you're beginning to wonder if maybe there’s a breakfast buffet hidden somewhere in the back of the room. It seems to me that not only are there more people than ever at today's meetings, but meetings are also more frequent and taking up significantly more hours of the day..."

- Performance Measurement Helps IT Projects Stay on Time and on Budget
- By Robert L. Otto. Government Technology, August 4, 2010. "A challenge facing many new CIOs, CTOs and other technology leaders is the need to change their organization's culture and reputation. Fairly or not, technology leaders are often saddled with the perceptions (or misperceptions) that their team can't deliver projects on time or on budget; that they fail to contribute to enterprise performance improvements; and that their bureaucracy and processes prevent them from being agile or innovative. These perceptions can become reality if the technology team begins to accept these diminished expectations..."

- 5 free project management applications you must try
- Putting together a project plan can sometimes seem more daunting than completing the project itself. When you need to track each step of a project, along with your costs, staff, and other factors, you probably need a project management application, by Howard Wen (Computerworld (US)). CIO, 8 September, 2009. "For this roundup, I'll take a look at five free alternatives to using Microsoft Office Project. None of these are from major software companies -- four out of the five are open source while the fifth, jxProjects, is advertising-supported. On the one hand, this means that you don't get the amount of hand-holding that you would from a commercial product. On the other hand, these products often employ more innovative methods than commercial software. In this roundup, I'll examine what each of these applications offers, how easy each is to use and how useful each choice may be for those unfamiliar with project planning..."

- Project Management for SEO
- Posted by Lucy Langdon. SEOmoz, August 25, 2009. "Coming up with the right SEO answer is just one part of improving your website's performance online. The strategy you devise then needs implementation and, more often than not, project management. The purpose of this post is to share what I (and a few others) have learned about managing SEO strategies over the years. There isn't much hardcore SEO though- I suggest you take a look at this if you want some of that!..."

- The Self Evident Truths of Project Management: #15 - 'We need a new 'Project Delivery Science™''
- Conventional project and change management approaches have been proven to be deficient, by Jed Simms. CIO, 4 August, 2009. "I recently sat in on a project team management meeting. They agreed that the project (which was under three months old) was off the rails and they did not have the capability to deliver the expected benefits. I was thinking, 'You could, but not with the conventional project and change management approaches you are using'..."

- The Self Evident Truths of Project Management: #14 - 'Internal staff have the deep smarts to deliver extraordinary results'
- What is the value of the expert? by Jed Simms. CIO, 28 July, 2009. "The past 20 years has seen the rise of the 'expert' — for example, expert project managers, business analysts, architects and six sigma folk. These 'experts' all help to move the project away from the business and its staff. 'They' will deliver the project, becomes the business' view..."

- Highlighting the dangers of under-powered PMOs, by Jed Simms. CIO, 21 July, 2009. "... Conventionally, Portfolio Management Offices (PMOs) have been created from the project arena - to provide oversight and coordination across a portfolio of projects.

- Taking the mystique out of software, by Jed Simms. CIO, 14 July, 2009. "... When you're buying software you're buying processes. Often configurable processes, but processes all the same. Therefore when you install software you are installing a set of processes in the midst of the rest of your organisation's processes..."

- The Self Evident Truths of Project Management: Truth # 11: 'Project scope is a weapon of opportunity not control'
- The assumption that initial scope is the final scope, need not be the case, by Jed Simms. CIO, 7 July, 2009. "If you mention the word 'Scope' to a most people around projects the first word they think of is 'control'. As a result too often projects are scoped too tightly from the outset as part of this 'control' mentality, missing large areas of real value because of how the scope is defined..."

Simple..."

- The Self Evident Truths of Project Management: Truth # 8- 'Resistance to change is created, not inevitable'
- Learn to see the benefits and value of change, by Jed Simms. CIO, 16 June, 2009. "... It's not change that causes resistance, but how we do it. People want reasons, to see value in the new outcomes and be confident in the change process. If they can see real benefit from the changes and can see that they’ll be effectively implemented (and this part is important as they’ve all been burned by poorly implemented change that promised so much but delivered so little) they’ll support it..."
