Sudden death
Linkedin Pulse
April 08, 2020

Critical dependencies from other projects
Linkedin Pulse
April 02, 2020
Unless your project lives in an ivory tower, without influences from other projects, you sure have some dependencies. If nothing else, at least you need that other projects release those resources that you need so bad.

Will my project survive the pandemic?
‎ Independently published
November 17, 2020
If project management needs good planning, project risk management is necessary to be ready in the situation so vividly described by Mike Tyson - "everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face".
When the world is in the grip of a pandemic, uncertainties multiply - and so do the risks that threaten the execution of your plans.
This book helps readers identify the threats posed by the pandemic to their project, assess their criticality and prioritize the actions to be undertaken, define measures to avoid them or mitigate their impact and acquire a streamlined but comprehensive perspective of how risks affect a project.

Demystifying Projects
May 29, 2022
When we try to make things better (and projects, most of the time, have this kind of aspiration), it is very common to imagine new features to add.
Improvement by subtraction, on the other hand, is systematically overlooked.
We all value simplification, yet we seem to forget about its potential.
Why?
