A new virtual experience
Relating to earlier blog posts (“Are all IT projects worthless?”) there has been a number of new apps and webb-based services that has made life easier during the pandemic, at least in Sweden. Shopping online for groceries, with home delivery or packing and picking up the groceries at planned times has boomed. Zoom, Teams and…
Alchemy
Today at the zoom-sent class, we talked about how different companies collect ideas, analyze them and possibly adopt an idea to make a project out of it. That is an interesting topic. I have been working at smaller companies for many years, and dropping an idea at a smaller company is often nothing formal. But…
Eureka
Reading the PMI Benefits Realization Management (BRM) I fond my self , hmm… a bit underwhelmed. It is not that it is bad, really. Just not that good in my opinion. Some things are repeated over and over, some things not lifted enough. Some things are explained briefly, like they are simple even though, thinking…
Turning Technology into Business
In yesterdays post, I mentioned a book by Westerman G, Bonnet D, McAfee A. (2014) “Leading Digital – Turning technology into business transformation”. Even if it is a couple of years old now, it is a really good book on digital transformation, what you can do, and how, to transform your business. The authors had…
Unspoken wishes are met randomly, prt2

Lifting out BRM and discussing it as a separate subject feels kind of backwards…
It isn’t a failure if you learn something.

I have been part of of test groups and first user groups in implementation projects,…
Are all IT projects worthless?
In todays class we had a discussion on the topic above . It was meant to provoke and I have to admit that it does provoke me. Perhaps one reason is because I am not in the IT business, and my point of view is the users view. Using computers and smartphones everyday to call,…
About project management
Continuing on the topic of yesterdays blog; if you are looking for answers to why projects fail or succeed, you are bound to find The Standish Group CHAOS reports pretty quick. (Be aware of the one that is very generously referred to where the IT managers have responded to what factor that generates success and…
Time management
Traditional project managing is often considered to be constrained by cost, time and quality, this is called the project management triangle. These constrains are balancing each other so if more time is needed to complete a project it is going to effect the cost or the outcome ( or both) as well. This is often…
