I have come across people said that project management is nothing more than organised common sense. However, common sense is not commonly practised by people, that's why many projects fail. Thus, we need project managers to enforce organised common…

Wow. Been doin' it, but never had a name for it. I have GOT to start naming my practices. I see them as such common sense things, but then I find out that someone comes along later and publishes a buzzword. TQM, Agile, MoSCoW.

Dr Anthony Yeong, PMP commented on Antonio Nieto-Rodriguez's blog post 'Can a Project Manager become the next CEO?'

There are also other terms used in the industry, such as EPO (Enterprise Project Office) and SPO (Strategic Project Office), and even Product Management Office. Often I have heard people incorrectly refer to PMO as a role (Project Mgmt Officer). Pro…

MoSCoW is a systems development technique owned by Dynamic Systems Development Method (DSDM) Consortium. In a typical systems development project, it is not possible to guarantee to deliver all the scoped requirements in the agreed time frame to the end-users.
