There is some debate in the Project community. The wider community.
Some vote for PMI, PMP and all the other letters.
Some vote Lean and Agile and 2.0 and the “new way”.
It can be easy to pick a side or easy to go buffet style and take some of each. (That will be heretical to some who are strongly on one side or the other.)
Better still, when we think about better or great Project work, think about how we can move the discussion forward.
Not stuck in any time period or stuck on any method. (Sure, certain fundamentals don’t change. We can debate the fundamentals another time.)
If we must get stuck, let’s get stuck on PROJECT-ing Forward.
Doing something new. Doing something better. Learning every day. Making mistakes and trying again.
But, don’t stay stuck. Move ahead.
