Peter Taylor - The Lazy Project Manager for Space Executives - Cold Star Project S02E10


Listen Later

The Lazy Project Manager, Peter Taylor, is on the Cold Star Project to share his experience in what it takes to improve project performance. Space engineers, like other technical executives, are typically excellent at the practical and material side of project tasks; however, as in other industries would greatly benefit from improving their project management skills.  


With host Jason Kanigan, Peter discusses:  

  • the origin of the ‘Lazy Project Manager’ (book: https://www.amazon.com/lazy-project-m... -- NOT an affiliate link)  
  • whether project managers are learning or becoming ‘productively lazier’
  • the upcoming new book releasing in January 2020 (Project Management: It's All Bollocks: https://www.amazon.com/Project-Manage... -- NOT an affiliate link)  
  • Project Sponsorship weakness  
  • Lack of connection from C-Level execs to on the ground project change delivery  
  • The rise of ‘projects as usual’ with people delivering change as part of their day to day job  - The future of project management, including the potential impact of artificial intelligence / machine learning / data science.   

  • Cold Star Tech is on a mission to bring automotive-style continuous manufacturing process improvements to smallsat and cubesat commercial operations. In doing so, costs will be lowered; profits will be increased; and most importantly, smallsat mission success rates will be raised. User adoption of space technology is our goal.
