A good point to note is the duration for reviews pointed out by Lamberson, often times in order to keep customers happy one will end up absorbing incidental cost accruing from customers' indecisiveness. Having a limit for review duration on contract is one way of solving two recurring contract...

That is exactly the point dcasto, the "smarty pants PMP" was offering you tools that will inprove your processes, it is left to you with the experience in these area and with the benefit of hindsight to say no this won't do us much good. Talking about ROW acquisition, in my experience we have...

I disagree with GregLamberson on the usefulness of PM in upstream energy sector, that is were I play too. It is important to understand that PMI standard, PMBOK Guide, does not set-out a methodology for managing projects, it has rather espoused standard tools, techniques and terminologies inter...

On one count, you are right, but way off the mark on two important points. 1 Yes lots of people dont know about it. But that is what gives you the cutting edge, that is what sets you apart from the rest. The corporate world is gradually seeing the benefits in project oriented management...

Gents, I hope this issue is not being over floged. I left the university with a B.Eng in Mechanical Engineering, and a longing for those beautiful calculations and that feeling of just saving the world with one well taught out solution to the greatest engineering problem. That was 7yrs ago...

I have read a lot of papers and articles on the subject and you very well proof our thinking right. However if you are on the client side do you think this approach is justified considering the following constraints inter alia: 1 High cost of telecommunication 2 Risk associated with...
