Wikipedia identifies the origins of modern project management in the pioneering work of this web site’s eponymous inspiration, Henry Gantt. His seminal innovation was the development of tools that would aid in the efficient allocation and scheduling of resources by comparing forecasted, planned work to actual work performed, which became a cornerstone of Earned Value Management. Today, building on the work of Gantt and others through ingenuity and experience, project practitioners continue to develop and refine tools, techniques, processes and procedures that enable and support successful project execution. Following in Gantt’s footsteps, this department will bring you the latest in innovation, insight and advice, enabling you to achieve excellence in project management.

Gradually but surely, the Internet is affecting all businesses, and everyone is talking about e-commerce and doing business digitally. It is the New Economy, stupid, and the Old Economy business models are not valid anymore. Thats the buzz that is going around. Sometime back it seemed to be absolutely true. Well, the market has its own way of passing judgement. Now the so-called Old Economy business models are striking back, and there is more confusion and uncertainty. But two things are certain for the businesses to succeed. First, all businesses need to continuously change and evolve. Second, the technology will be the vehicle through which the businesses can succeed. In that sense, e-commerce and digital business are here to stay. To be successful, each and every business needs to leverage technology and integrate it with the business processes. This department is all about mastering the strategies and technology for e-commerce, and we intend to help you stay on the cutting edge of digital business and succeed.

Today’s software development and systems implementation projects are increasingly falling into the eXtreme zone ... that arena of projects which is not only organizationally and technically complex, but also features high speed, high change, high unpredictability and high stress. These new breed, extreme projects defy the ceremony, monumental methodologies and well-intentioned practices of traditional, waterfall-like project management. Such approaches work well on projects which feature low speed and low change, but backfire on today’s extreme projects. The goal of our Extreme Project Management department is to connect you with the growing number of resources and people that can help you succeed in keeping today’s new breed, change-driven projects under control.

The technology marketplace has experienced a surge of software companies focusing on several real business problems and creating their unique value proposition in markets like Supply Chain Management (SCM), Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), E-Procurement and now Wireless (to name a few). Selecting an appropriate package software solution is not a trivial task, given the number of vendors and overlapping choices. It can make decisions difficult and confusing.
The challenge: Selecting the vendor and package solution among hundreds of products, philosophies and promises and making the right choice for your organization to implement them.
The solution: This department is designed to provide you with the resources on how to overcome the challenge (processes and methodologies), tools to overcome them with (templates and deliverables) and an opportunity to learn from what others have done (articles and discussions).

Organizations exist to fulfill a value proposition with their stakeholders. To the extent the organization can do this, it prospers. Process Improvement, whether focused on re-engineering or continuous improvement, seeks to optimize and balance the value an organization can deliver over time. It must be born from committed leadership, measurable objectives and embraced by the knowledge workers of the organization. Process Improvement cuts across the organization laterally and horizontally. Pursued correctly, it can align the organization's operations with its strategic objectives. Process Improvement is more than projects, more than technology. It is a dynamic force that can change the way organizations think about and achieve their desired outcomes.

The Program Management Office is the focal point for project management in the organization. The reality is that the role spans a continuum of services that at its most basic serves as a centralized reporting function, and at its most involved assumes full responsibility for the portfolio of projects in the organization. Whatever the model in your organization, this department exists in order to provide you with the ideas, tools and information you need to succeed in your role.
