Episode 112: The Value of Project Management

This week The PMO Podcast™ Featured Story presents, "The Value of Project Management", presented by Mark Perry (about Mark), host of The PMO Podcast™. What is the value of project management? There has been so much written and said on the subject of the value of project management that it is hard to believe there are those out there that don’t believe, don’t support it, or perhaps just don’t get it. When you talk with PMO managers, project managers, and subject matter experts, you will likely hear the following ten kinds of project management value propositions. The PMO Podcast™ Points Memo presents, “Look, Listen, and Learn." Many people know the story of the clinical research being done on a compound called UK92-480. This compound was being studied for use in hypertension, high blood pressure, and Angina Pectoris, a form of cardiovascular disease. Though the compound failed its clinical trial, the unintended side effects proved to be very marketable giving us the drug Viagra. But do you know the story behind the story of how the research team found out from the men in the clinical trial all about their side effects? Sometimes, you have to look and listen before you can learn. The PMO Podcast™ Mailbag answers a listener question about which software package would be appropriate for someone new to project management to learn.
