Niwot Ridge Resources | This site has evolved over time. It started many years ago as a consulting resource site. It now provides a holding place for reference materials for my professional relationships with colleagues as well as my vocational interests. I hope some of these interests overlap with yours and you find materials here that add to your vocation or avocation. |
| A sampling of the resources is below. This selection is driven by my current business interest, but more resources are available on the pages to the left. |

I assembled my trusty "check list" of project management processes - emphasis process not methodologies into a single place. In anticipation of the APM Core Values taking hold, I'm looking for places in our current practices to apply them. | | The beginnings of an extended essay on Project Management as a Systems Engineering process | | New Project Management resources for IMP/IMS | | Extreme Programming and Scrum "pictures on a single page" provide a quick introduction to these agile development methods. | | My interest in Steve Devaux's Total Project Management book has led me deep into "Real Options" theory for use in software project decision making. Here's a collection of papers on the subject. This topic is the "next big thing" in portfolio management and decision making in the presence of uncertainty. | | An essay on a recent ASAPM paper on unplanned external events disrupted projects describes how to think about this problem in a more consistent manner | | "Using Balanced Scorecard to Development a Project Based IT Organization," Balanced Scorecard Symposium, October 28,29, and 30, San Francisco. | | "Managing XP Project with Earned Value," is a paper presented at the Agile Development Conference, Salt Lake City Utah, June 25 2003. | | Agile Project Management discussion resources.
