Back from Philly
September 12th, 2002 by HalThe trip was great. It started very early on Sept 11. As you might imagine both Boston Logan and the Philly airports were empty. There were less than 10 people on board. Eery.
The sessions were quite productive. I wish I could report that four teams got off to a great start. Scheduling kept many project team members from attending. However, 6 project leaders did attend. Among other topics, we explored making project performance improvements across projects. We settled on a practice of reviewing weekly project reliability data — the percent of planned tasks completed (PPC) — and analyzing the sources of variability on projects. I think this group will develop a new practice. I'll report on it later. There's a specialty contractor in Texas who I hear is doing something similar. I'll research it.
BTW, look for regular postings every Mon, Wed, and Fri mornings with a few random postings in between. I'm also interested in what readers have to say about these rantings.
