How Your Rollout in Waves Can End in a Tsunami
14. November 2022
Many multinational organizations are bringing larger system implementations to a screeching halt because they misunderstand what it means to do a rollout in waves. We’re probably all familiar with the “phased rollout”. A phased rollout means you roll a project out to all targeted users at once but don’t deploy all of its planned functionality.
My Talk «Why Big Technology Projects Fail» @ Synergy DevPartner Conference
12. November 2022
In September I was invited by Synergex to give a talk at their 2022 Synergy DevPartner Conference. The title of my talk was «Why Big Technology Projects Fail« and it covers my personal top ten reasons why this happens so often.

New Project Audit
16. August 2022
Audit means compliant with standards. In this case not PMI or Hermes, but with my standards. It is how I would set up a new project based on my 20+ years of experience with large technology projects. If you are in the early phase of a large and complex technology project my New Project
Doing Something That’s Never Been Done
14. August 2022
Executives, project sponsors, project managers, and steering committee members can learn a lot from how some deep technology startups approach their projects. This isn’t true for all kinds of projects, but it is for every project that involves doing something that hasn’t been done before and has a high risk-reward profile. This isn’t another lean
Project Failure Database
8. August 2022
As part of writing Project Failure Case Studies I do a lot of research on failed projects. Not every project I encounter in court documents and/or news papers is suitable for a case study. Nor do I have time to write a case study on each suitable project failure I encounter. But this research has
