Project managers across the country (and the world) are getting busier and busier. There are more and more issues to face and complexities to deal with. My own work focuses on ways to support project and programme managers, and business analysts, as they grapple with the busy-ness and business of 21st century projects and programmes of change. To help me keep my work relevant and focused on your needs, please comment with the issues around your project work that keep you awake at night. I promise to post a summary of what I’ve heard through all the channels of communication in January 2008! So, what are you up against at work?

Cheers,
Penny

I was chatting today with a group of business analysts from IT in a big company. They confirmed to me that they spent huge amounts of time in meetings, and that this went up as they progressed up the organisation. When I asked them if these meetings were effective, you can imagine the answer. It wasn't 'Yes'!

Penny, thanks for starting your blog. I really think that Project and Programme Managment professionals are far too reticent about telling it like it is. We would rather hide problems than get them out into the open where everyone can help resolve the difficulty. For 'People' people we can be remarkably insular!
