0 0 Currently in Cary Millsap’s session about his agile approach on things called “My Case for Agile Methods“. Agile is (not yet) my thing, but knowing Cary, and he is in to it, when he is enthusiastic about something its probably one of those things which you should look into. If […]
0 0 For years I was a fan of bug/issue management systems and worked with open systems like Jira or Bugzilla. I’ve used these systems during the development and production/ support phase of the products. Every time I use these systems I spend too much time registering, evaluating and sorting issues. At the […]

Would you like to know how to improve the performance of your team members? This can be done without massive statistics or an expensive performance improvement program. This magic pill is called positive feedback. Just give your […]

0 0 In your project, allocate time (and budget!) for research. I used to think that all activities should contribute directly and specifically to the end goal. I now tend more towards the view that you should plan for research. Of course the research should be targeted, but usually a project has […]
0 0 A few weeks ago I received a Request for Information for a substantial project. There was one question that struck me: “Describe on which moments your organization communicates with the client organisation.†My first reaction was: when don’t we! To ensure that you deliver what your client expects, communication is […]
0 0 “To follow, without halt, one aim: There’s the secret of success.†(Anna Pavlova, a famous ballerina). To repeat the quote from my last blog. The goal must be worth it, of course. What are the benefits, what are the costs. Right…the Business Case. For this you should not hesitate to […]
0 0  “To follow, without halt, one aim: There’s the secret of success.†(Anna Pavlova, a famous ballerina). Completely true of course. A project rarely fails due to one large incident or problem. More often they shift of course imperceptibly, in small steps. Each individual shift is of almost no consequence, the […]

0 0 This week Sander Hoogendoorn (Cap Gemini) presented a seminar about “Estimation with Use Casesâ€. Generally, this seminar confirmed that the development method of AMIS, internally called the “Way We Work @AMIS†is still valid and up-to-date. However, there are some interesting things to learn from this seminar. The three most […]

This is the fifth of 12 posts about the principles of agile software development. Purpose is to go back to the start of the agile manifesto (http://agilemanifesto.org/principles.html) […]
0 0 We as project managers really loved managing projects using ‘conventional’ Oracle tools. Most of us actually started as software engineers in projects using these tools. We had experience, knew all the pitfalls and managed productive software development streets. Things our programmers developed were reusable and were repeated time after time. […]

0 0 Recently we were bidding on a major project for the rebuilding and enhancement of an extranet system for one of our prospects. Their current system was based on old technology and its architecture was an impediment for the planned growth of their business. Based on an extensive selection process, finally […]
0 0 This week I attended our AMIS Query on “How the Middle Tier is slowing the Database down†by renowned performance “problem solver†Anjo Kolk. When I saw the announcement for this AMIS Query I had no doubts I wanted to be there. It may seem a highly technical subject, yet, […]
0 0 Last week I revisited a client in the healthcare sector. A client where I delivered a project for a Central Laboratory Information System back in ‘97. I was the Information Analyst and later Project Manager. Back in the nineties I loved this project. The previous system was over 20 years […]
0 0 As a manager I had an encounter with myself today. Actually I had one with my team. Personally I thought I had it all figured out just fine. My clients are happy at the moment, my boss is happy with the current progress of my projects. So, everything is looking […]
0 0 Last week we had a project scoping day: in a room, client and AMIS, setting the boundaries of the project. Nothing unusual you would say. It is healthy to determine the scope of your project and ensure a mutual understanding of that scope and the underlying business goals it supports. […]
0 0 Before I enter into more detail on the factors I perceive as contributing to project success, let’s take a look at how ICT Project are actually doing, now. A quick google leads to me to the Ernst & Young report “Trends in ICT 2007†(Dutch only, I apologize). http://www.centric.nl/index.asp?nmoduleid=3&spagetype=6&nCHType=1&sPath=/Trends_in_ICT_2007.pdf The […]
0 0 Last week I was again painfully reminded of how important it is to start your project the right way. Last year we started a major ADF/JHeadstart project. And we started wrong. My first mistake was to give in to customer pressure and do the planning quickly on a Tuesday morning. […]
0 0 In all my years as a project manager I always faced the same problems when setting up a project plan. The problem was not the plan itself but the tooling to create the plan. Project after project I started with the personal goal to master MSProject and plan and report […]
0 0 A few weeks ago I was asked to deliver a presentation on methods (development, project management, application implementation, …) to the Oracle User Group Holland (OGH). My initial response was a bit reluctant, as I generally associate Methods with a certain degree of boredom. I was given ample opportunity to […]
