It is that time of year again when we have to look back and take stock. Well, regardless of what our experiences have been, we need to show gratitude.

DIVORCE RATE AMONG PROJECT MANAGERS PART 2: RED FLAGS
In the first part of this series, I said I would elaborate on some aspects of the statistics to provide context. Today, I want to highlight some red flags that may point to a much higher divorce rate among project managers and professionals.
Although these divorce rates are pretty high and represent the general population, I have reasons to belief that they could be much higher for project managers and project professionals.
DIVORCE RATE AMONG PROJECT MANAGERS: SURPRISES
The first surprise was that there was no research or reliable statistics on the state of health of the marriages of project managers.

Thus, scope of work definition is a key element in the selection of appropriate contract type. Today I begin to discuss different contract types and when they are applicable.

Why do we do this to ourselves? We did something that yielded results. We learnt something, applied it, and that resulted in some progress. And then we stopped! I have done it. Have you?
