This is going to be the shortest blog entry ever - but one that project managers the world over will want to keep an eye on....

I'm just weeks away from releasing my brand new PMP Primer. The ultimate pmp prep. Good News, is that it's a 100% pmp download.

Unlike many other PMP online courses you can take as long as you like to study - it'l be on your own PC anyway!

When it launches, it will be on www.pmp-primer.com

Do you want to know the most asked question I get when teaching Prince2?

Yep! Folks get confused about the Product Based Planning Technique...in particular, those darn diagrams - The Product Breakdown Structure and the Product Flow Diagram.

So I thought I'd put together a 10 minute video covering topics such as the End-Product, Intermediate Products, Simple Products, Product States, External Products.....Oh, and I threw in a few guidlines just for good measure...

Enjoy!

Phew!!

Just got back to Spain from a hectic tour of Prince2 training events in the UK. There's no doubt the wind of change is getting to companies and their professional staff.

Product Based Planning (PBP) is used within the Planning Process (PL2). And the Planning Process is used whenever a “real” Plan is needed – these are: 

  1. Project Plan
  2. Stage Plan
  3. Optional Team Plan
  4. Exception Plan if needed

All other plans are really strategies (Project Quality Plan, Configuration Management Plan, Communication Plan) The Post Project Review Plan does not need PBP as it is just a schedule, measurements, and resources showing how the Business Case benefits are to be measured, tracked, and eventually realized.

At the ripe old age of 62, I have at last been converted into a Grandad!!

My Son Matthew and his lovely wife Hannah have presented me with a Grandaughter -  Florence Litten.  She was born yesterday, 15th January 2009 at 11:15 am weighing 7pounds and 14 ounces. Luckily for Matthew she has her mothers beautiful blue eyes! 

My job on this planet is now complete - two generations of Litten genes unleashed upon the world.....

 

Rob Litten is not just my Son - he's also a monstrously talented, professionally-trained Drum Tutor. Not only is he as funky as hell - he's also got the prestigious Degree in Percussion hanging on his wall. 

Despite still only being in his twenties, he has been hoovering up just about every style and percussion technique that drum instruments use on the face of the planet.

"Can a proven and repeatable recipe
for a recession-proof business
...really exist?

Right Now You're Standing At A
'Home Business Opportunities' Crossroad

Down one path is more of what you've been doing. Living every moment in fear of what will come next. Hoping against hope that change will come, but knowing deep down that it won't.

I've been there too -- 6 months ago my day-job income was dropping, there was only one of me -- I needed to work smarter, not harder.

And as this darned recession starts to bite make no mistake about it…

But You're Also Standing in the Path 
of a Category 5 Financial Hurricane.

A Storm named "Recession."

And she's only begun to show the damage she's capable of - and the frightening part is, all this is happening right before our eyes... and most people are just standing there waiting for it to come crashing down on them.
