Orthgonality, Software Engineering, Agilist
What Have I learned about Orthogonality, Software Engineering, and being an Agilist? Some possible Definitions:
Technique Enforced Process (Orthogonality)
An Event initiates a Process. The Process collects, manipulates and saves Data including a State setting. Each change in State (including from No State to a State) can be used as an Event. There are many external Events which occur and trigger their associated Processes within an automated application. As examples: Two Master Processes areContinue reading “Technique Enforced Process (Orthogonality)”
Soon To Be A Lost Art
This is a FIRST, although it really is a second or third depending on when you start counting. I started writing a Newsletter back in the day (1980’s) when I was running a Technical Services team where we provided Standards (and Enforcement), Training (in support of an IT department interested in growing skills and people),Continue reading “Soon To Be A Lost Art”
Portfolio Project Management – Level Zero
Portfolio Management is an organization’s process for capturing, vetting, budgeting and scheduling the execution of Work Requests from the users and other contributors within an organization.

Retirement was brief (just days really), awful, boring, and drove me nuts – more nuts than my usual “nuts”. My Mission has had manyContinue reading “My Mission Today”

Many years ago, I decided that we should not limit ourselves to only three PMOs: Even though these were very obvious and have immediate value to those who sought more management for these functions, I still thought there could be MORE. I started writing notes about how to structure and operate these initial three PMOsContinue reading “How Many P’s in Your PMO?”
The Hybrid Work Model
I saw a survey for topics that a technical networking group might be interested in. This survey was taken on LinkedIn by a group that has approximately 2,000 members. One of the interesting results of this survey was that the topic of “HYBRID WORK MODEL” got ZERO responses while the three other topics received theContinue reading “The Hybrid Work Model”
Do you Have an Agenda
If you are scheduling or holding a meeting and you DON’T have an Agenda, then I suggest you cancel your meeting and prepare an agenda ASAP. Usually, there are people who are interested in the outcome of a meeting who will contribute to the items that they would like to have ON the agenda soContinue reading “Do you Have an Agenda”
A Questionnaire for Agilists
I am working on another written piece where the “working title” is “The Agilist: A Series of Perspectives”. So far I have interviewed several folks who call themselves “Agilists” and I am collecting their thoughts and forming an impression of how I want to write about this new Job Title / Skill set. Here isContinue reading “A Questionnaire for Agilists”
