One my favorite serial interviewees, Dr. Mark Bojeun, returns to the Software Process and Measurement Cast for a third time (we may need to get him a permanent seat at the table soon). Mark and I discussed the role and impact of project and product visions on the ability to effectively deliver value. The vision is an important directional statement that can't be left to chance! Mark has last visited the Software Process and Measurement Cast on SPaMCAST 388 to discuss PMOs as a strategic tool and before then on the SPaMCAST 280 to discuss his book, Program Management Leadership: Creating Successful Team Dynamics (Kindle version). Mark's Bio: Dr. Bojeun has more than 20 years of experience in providing strategic management and leadership through portfolio, project and program management. His experience includes developing and managing multi-million dollar portfolios, programs, and projects, facilitating the achievement of strategic objectives, and creating best practice processes for program and project management efforts. Dr. Bojeun has designed and implemented multiple Enterprise Program Management Offices (EPMOs) for domestic and multinational firms and has extensive experience in organizational change management through transformational leadership, strategic support and staff empowerment to management professionals in the development and implementation of organizational vision, mission, objectives, and goals. Contact Mark on LinkedIn Re-Read Saturday News We missed this week due to work! I was teaching Test Driven Development. It was an intense class with a great group. We will get back in the swing of things next week! Remember to buy a copy of Carol Dweck's Mindset and read along!

It was a pretty intense discussion! We are going to release the audio on both our podcasts concurrently on Monday February 6th!
