I've been asked to present at the 2011 PMI Houston Conference held at the George Brown Convention Center on June 8th and 9th. I'll be presenting Agile Projects, Programs and Portfolios. An hour long session on challenges that Agile projects face within many Program and Portfolio environments. This will be an engaging session with examples of what to avoid and suggestions on how to increase your agile practices across your organization's Program and Portfolio environment.

Presenting at Central Mississippi PMI Professional Days |
I'll be presenting on Agile: A New Tool in Turbulent times and Agile Applied at the newly formed Central Mississippi PMI chapter for their first Professional Days. This is a timely session with the recent introduction of the PMI-ACP (Agile Certified Practioner) certification which I'll be discussing in my presentations. I'm looking forward to meeting some new people and discussing trends and experiences in Project Management. Hope to see you there! |

PMI-ACP (Agile Certified Practitioner) |
The PMI has recently released their newest certification, the Agile Certified Practitioner. This is a big step for agile maturity and adoption as the PMI brings a massive support system for educating and promoting trends in project management. I recently took the exam (which unlike the PMP does not provide immediate results on whether you passed, this is since the exam is so new they are assessing the results to ensure its a fair and appropriate mechanism to validate Agile knowledge). I'm happy to report that it was a good exam and captured the essence of agile in a balanced way. Great job to the PMI for this accomplishment! If you're interested in learning more about the exam and requirements, I wrote a piece on my ITToolbox blog and will be posting some more details on the exam questions shortly. |

Increasing Business Value Through Technology |
|
Welcome to a site focused on increasing business value throught the effective use of technology. I'm an IT professional based in Houston, Texas with more than 20 years of experience in the management and architecture of large scale technology solutions across a variety of industries. Although my experience and focus has been on technology, my educational background is in Economics and Business and I have degrees and certifications on both sides of the business and technology continuum.
One of my primary interests is in increasing the throughput between business ideas and succesful technology implementations. I draw upon a range of practical industry standard approaches such as Agile, Lean, and the Unified Process as well as years of experience applying these techniques in a wide variety of settings.
One of the things I enjoy most about the IT industry is the rapid pace of change and its inexorable movement towards increasing throughput. I see Information Technology moving into a new phase of its evolution. The days of having one centralized IT organization responsible for supporting business development initiatives AND maintaining and supporting existing systems and their infrastructure are over. A more effective model finely tuned for a dynamic business environment operating in a flat world of globally interconnected markets and people will focus on a more responsive and adaptive model. Organizations with IT organizations managing classic 'feeds and speeds' will increasingly turn to the services of outsourced service providers and leverage applications and computing capacity through a cloud of web based solutions that can increase or decrease capacity based on need. A new business technology organization focused on business outcomes embedded within business units will emerge overseen by a Chief Business Acceleration Officer with visibility across all of an organizations' value chain.

Presenting at Agile 2010 |
|
I'm happy to announce that I was recently selected to present at Agile 2010, the premiere Agile conference of the year. I'll be once again sharing the stage with Robbie Mac Iver, head of the Houston APLN and member of the APLN's National Board of Directors. We'll be presenting Accelerating Enterprise Agile Adoption. This is the same presentation that we've delivered at the Agile Alliance Summit and Houston TechFest with some updates. It's a highly interactive presentation that crams alot of material into a 90 minute session. Hope to see folks there! |
