Projects Are About Humans. Deal With That!

PM Should Be Intimate With Systems Dynamics And Free The PMBOK



Sometimes I amaze myself how good I am. I keep bugging you guys on using all kinds of fuzzy models and theories for Project Management. Even torture you with concepts of complex adaptive systems and system dynamics in general. BUT IT SEEMS I AM RIGHT! If even a PhD coins this subject… WOW! Me so great! :) Paul Giammalvo, the PhD I am referring to, also makes a plea to set the PMBoK free… make it free for the public. I really like this guy!

While you are at it, reading this months issue of PM World Today, you might check out my article "How Male Machismo Shaped Project Management"… I love to steer up some controversies… sorry about that. Hehehehehe.
