Project ExpertEase Index to Articles

Welcome to Project ExpertEase, the part of our web site where you can find articles to help make your life as a Program Manager or Project Manager easier.

The articles you'll find here include hints, tips, and commentary on current project management issues. Tip: The articles are in reverse chronological sequence; the most recent ones are at the top of the list.

You'll find Executive Insights for those pursuing a Project Oriented Enterprise. You will also find exercises project practitioners can use to polish your skills and knowledge, and pretty much anything else that you or we can think of that gives value to Project Managers or their organizations.

You will find copies of papers we have presented at events ranging from Enterprise sessions to World Congresses of IPMA, the International Project Management Association.

IPMA was the first Professional Project Management Society in the World, and Stacy Goff, ProjectExperts President, is the USA representative to that body.

You will discover insights from our line of Project Management Methods, sharing some of the secret competitive advantages of the most successful Project Oriented Enterprises. Many of these articles have been repeatedly re-published around the World, but appeared here first.
