APM Blogs

In a well-planned project there will be scheduled milestones and regular formal reviews, which allow those involved to assess progress, discover new risks and identify issues that might require a change to the project, such as: Inadequate business requirements New information coming to light External changes in the market Changes in organisational strategy New technology becoming available New regulations being imposed As are result it may be necessary to change the project scope or requirements.

As managers and leaders in our organisations, we are often most focused on delivering our projects on time, on budget, and within the scope.

As project managers we are constantly aware of the relationship between costs and the value benefits.

Traditional project management processes are failing left and right.

Why oh why do people keep going on about continuous professional development (CPD)?  Stop wasting my time.

Membership is the bedrock of any professional body; members give APM purpose, guidance and endorsement.

In my last blog I talked about the pain points facing project managers within their organisations in terms of project and resource management.

Communication folk know they should plan, but the challenges of doing so in fast moving environment can be off putting and of course we all know that failing to plan is planning to fail! Well now Dutch Professor Betteke van Ruler has got us thinking about how to apply agile thinking to communication planning.

In my last post I talked about how to identify risks on a project and how to ensure the risks were specific to the project and not general business-as-usual risks.

You're only worth as much as someone is prepared to pay for you.
