Just a heads up that I’m attending the virtual PMXPO 2008 right now. It is much cooler than I thought it would be. It’s just like being at a conference without all the hassles of travel and that annyoing thing called walking between sessions and booths!
Right now I’m listening to the keynote speaker and there are several more sessions coming throughout the day. I don’t think it’s too late to sign up so just go to http://events.unisfair.com/rt/pmexpo and sign up now. I’ll have more details on what I liked about it later.

A newly released whitepaper focuses on the common pitfalls that lead to project failures. Written by our Director of PPM Product Marketing, Kazim Isfahani, the whitepaper entitled Why Projects Fail: Avoiding the Classic Pitfalls discusses the core reasons for project failure, and goes one step further by proposing recommendations for avoiding the risks and pitfalls.
This is a product agnostic look into whether project failures are considered normal these days given the high rates of failure, but also addresses six common reasons why projects are doomed to fail before they even start.
Mr. Isfahani will be speaking on Project Management Best Practices at Collaborate 08 in Denver this month. See the time and a synopsis of that session below.

If you’re planning to go to Oracle OpenWorld this year in San Francisco (Nov 11-14th) be sure to make it to a session called Oracle Project Management for DoD Earned Value Compliance: ViaSat’s Perspective .
I will be introducing our customer ViaSat who have been doing some cool things with our Earned Value feature in Project Management. Ryan Denner and Tim Cronin from ViaSat will be presenting the meat of the presentation and I’ll just be the wrapper for them. We kick off on the Monday at 4.45 pm in Room 2016 - L2 (I have no idea where that is right now but I’m sure there will be maps).
If you come by and have read this blog please let me know if you like it or have any suggestions for topics! Thanks.
