History Repeats Itself, But It Doesn’t Have To! Why does it take an 'act of congress' for some organizations to realize that what they are doing is not working?

Article Rating (6120 Views) (2 Comments)
The Influencing Formula for Business Analysts I often get asked, “How can I get stakeholders to attend my meetings?” or “How can I get stakeholders’ buy-in on the project?” These are complex questions and the easy answer is that you can’t.

Article Rating (7610 Views) (0 Comments)
The Decision Model and Process Models with BPMN The Decision Model in practice has delivered many unanticipated, but positive surprises.

» Estimating - Getting it Right
Article Rating (3585 Views) (0 Comments)
Estimating - Getting it Right It seems every now and then someone comes along with a new spin on how to estimate a project, either in its entirety or a portion of it.
