Role Of The PMBoK Guide In The Project Management Profession

At the PMI EMEA Global Congress in Amsterdam I had the pleasure of talking to Brian Weiss, VP of Product Management at Project Management Institute. He explains his view on the role the PMBoK guide plays in the Project Management profession.

The last couple of weeks were an amazing experience for me: I became a member of PMI’s New Media Council (together with great people like Cornelius Fichtner, Dave Garrett, Elizabeth Harrin, Hal Macomber, Jerry Manas, Josh Nankivel, Chalyce Nollsch and Raven Young) and attended PMI EMEA Global Congress.

Project Management Code: Why Do You Do What You Do?

This is really my favorite Project Management question to which I don’t have a real answer: are our industry’s best practices really that, or do we merely say they are because as a PM we are expected to say so? You know that when you fall, you experience pain. You have felt that as a child. But how did you know that if you look cross-eyed and the clock strikes, your eyes will stay crossed forever? Because momma said so. But if momma was always right, why did she run away with the neighbor?
