Introduction

 

I've been an off and on reader and contributor to this excellent PM portal, and wish to now contribute more regularly by having this blog.  My goal, obviously, is to post on project management related topics, but as the title of this blog relates, I'm very interested in bridging the intersection between traditional, process oriented project management, with the agility and flexibility of Agile project management.

Topics to range from the theory and practice of traditional processes such as PMBOK, CMMI, SDLC, etc. to Agile frameworks such as SCRUM, Extreme Programming (XP), Lean, etc., but most importantly, to how the incorporation of these standards, frameworks and methodologies enhance project leadership.

Project leadership is to me, the most vital element of any project success whether and whatever method, framework, or philsophy of managing projects you happen to employ.  At the core, what really stirs my passion in these discussion is how  project leadership becomes realized.
