It has been a very hectic last few months, however with the Victoria day break resulting in a long weekend, I have been able to get back to the blogging.
I think that in the last few months, I have had a ring side view of the impact of the indeterminate state of the economy on daily work. It feels like no one really knows how deep the problems run and how soon things will get back to normal. The result is close monitoring of costs with a very short term vision and frequent course correction.
In my profession as a Project Manager, this has presented some challenges. The normal progress of project is now interrupted by conflicting requests for information. This is leading to additional costs (an unintended consequence) and delays.
I have been reading up on Agile project management and the light weight concepts with the hopes of finding some interim solution to my problems. Meanwhile there is an opinion gaining currency that the problems in the global economy will sort itself out by middle of 2009.
The weekend is now coming to an end! Got to log off for now
