SPaMCAST 23 - Rothman,

Project Management , Traceability

** I believe I am back on track

since the motherboard failure.  We should

be back on track for delivering your favorite process improvement and

measurement content every other week! **

 

Show 23 features an interview with Johanna Rothman.

 The interview is titled, “Project

Management in the Post Waterfall World". 

While the title is a bit fanciful I would suggest that the ideas

espoused are very powerful and pertinent to how work is done and managed. 

 

Johanna Rothman consults, speaks, and writes on

managing high-technology product development. She assists managers, teams, and

organizations to become more effective by applying her pragmatic approaches to

the issues of project management, risk management, and people management. She’s

helped Engineering organizations, IT organizations, and startups hire technical

people, manage projects, and release successful products faster.

 

Johanna is the author of Manage It! Your Guide to

Modern, Pragmatic Project Management, the coauthor (with Esther Derby) of

Behind Closed Doors, Secrets of Great Management, and the author of Hiring the

Best Knowledge Workers, Techies & Nerds: The Secrets and Science of Hiring

Technical People. Johanna is a host and session leader at the Amplifying Your

Effectiveness (AYE) conference.

The essay

is titled is the synopsis of “Traceability: 

A Radical Approach Based on User Involvement." I am excited as I have

finally completed the essay and I think it adds a lot to the discussion of

traceability and tailoring.   I will push entire document out on the

SPaMCAST feed later this week.   The text of the synopsis can be found at .  Comments and corrections are welcome.
