If we continue griping amongst ourselves, instead of expanding the discussion to all stakeholders, we are going to be complaining about project support for a long time to come.
I applaud your efforts in establishing the editorial board at Projects@Work. Every serious, legitimate publication demands rigor and standards in their content selection process, and this move reflects a commitment towards that goal. As a PMP in the technology sector, I look forward to the future improvements. However, given the number of consultants on the board, I am concerned about achieving depth in generating balanced and objective viewpoints. I would like to see a representative line (middle) manager and a senior manager (CIO, CFO, CEO) from a Fortune 500 company. Why? One reason is reflected in the survey results reported in this month’s article "The Problem with Projects," which concludes the old PM lament that senior and middle management are unaware of project best practices and their own shortcomings.
If we continue griping amongst ourselves, instead of expanding the discussion to all stakeholders, we are going to be complaining about project support for a long time to come.
Thank you for your consideration,
