Upper Management Skills Necessary To Survive The Crisis In times of crisis, such as the current worldwide recession , the role that project or program managers perform is critical.

It is always good for professionals to combine the right sets of expertise. For someone involved with IT infrastructure projects, ITIL is a great complementary certification.

Use Effective Project Integration Management to Drive Project Success Project Management involves discipline in making sure that "all the i's are dotted and t's are crossed'. A product focus - or focus on the WHAT - helps drive priorities, and Project Integration Management helps drive the HOW. This article explores the keys to driving the required results, and also how to effectively manage the project management process using the Project Integration Management framework. How to Projectize People and Adopt a Project Culture Many organizations are "projectizing" and developing a strong and effective project management infrastructure. Changing the culture to be aligned to formal project management involves aligning people, one by one, by empowering them with formalized project management knowledge. To accomplish this, organizations can do well to develop a granular approach to empowering their people through this projectization process. Use Organization Strategy to Drive Project Portfolio Management Business or organizational strategy is intended to drive all decisions within an organization.
