Thoughts on Project/Product/Program Leadership and Agile
Is succeeding at web and software development projects important to you? Me too. I’ve spent most of my career (spanning nearly two decades) working on getting them done, getting them done on-time and on-budget, and getting them done in a way so that stakeholders, clients, and my development team are all happy. I’ve learned a lot along the way!
Below are articles I’ve written based on what has worked for me, in the hope that they will help others achieve positive outcomes for their own projects. I have grouped them by topic:
