Episode 205: Rescue The Problem Project | Listen Now: {audio}http://traffic.libsyn.com/pmpodcast/PM_Podcast_205_2012_02_03_-_Project_Rescue.mp3{/audio} This episode is sponsored by The PDU Podcast: When project budgets are dwindling, deadlines passing, and tempers flaring, then the usual response is to browbeat the project team and point fingers of blame - usually toward the project manager. That’s not really all that helpful. For these situations, what is needed is an objective process for accurately assessing what is wrong and a clear plan of action for fixing the problem. Enter Todd Williams, PMP who wrote the book Rescue the Problem Project: A Complete Guide to Identifying, Preventing, and Recovering from Project Failure. Todd and I sat down at the PMI Global Congress last year and in this interview we discuss approaches to project rescue. Here’s a brief book overview of Todd’s book: Rescue the Problem Project provides project managers, executives, and customers with the answers they require. Turnaround specialist Todd Williams has worked with dozens of companies in multiple industries resuscitating failing projects. In this new book, he reveals an in-depth, start-to-finish process. As always when we have an author discussing his book we are giving away two copies and by now you should know how that works. One copy is reserved for our premium listeners and one for everyone else. If you want a chance of winning the book, please go to www.facebook.com/pmpodcast and look for the book giveaway announcement.

Episode 204: The “New” PDU Categories and Structure | Listen Now: {audio}http://traffic.libsyn.com/pmpodcast/PM_Podcast_204_2012_01_20_-_PDU_Categories.mp3{/audio} This episode is sponsored by The PDU Podcast: If you are a certified PMP then you know what the acronym PDU stands for. It stands for Professional Development Units. Every PMP needs to earn 60 of these PDUs every 3 years in order keep his or her certification. The idea behind having to earn these PDUs is a simple one. PMI wants every PMP to continuously learn. Just like doctors or pilots who have to take classes regularly and practice new skills in order to keep their license, PMI wants us PMPs to learn new project management skills so that we can be the best project managers possible. The rules describing which activities count towards PDUs and how you have to report and claim them is documented in the “PDU Category Structure and Policies” document. In March 2011 PMI released a new version of these rules that is a lot less complex than the old one. So this has been out for about 10 months now, however, I still receive a lot of emails from confused PMPs who have questions about it. So I went ahead and sat down with Rory McCorkle from PMI to discuss the new structure and get clear descriptions and explanations directly from the horses mouth. Here are some topics that Rory will discuss in the interview Why were the PDU policies changed? We’ll define the rule that “One hour of effort is equal to one PDU” We’ll discuss the PDU Divisions and Categories We give examples of PDU earning activities And lot’s more.{loadposition content_adsense468} | 1/21/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Episode 202: How does the PMO mix with PPM, Governance, Lessons Learned and Business Driven Setup? | Listen Now: {audio}http://traffic.libsyn.com/pmpodcast/PM_Podcast_202_2011_12_16_-_BOT_and_PMO.mp3{/audio} This episode is sponsored by The PDU Podcast: This is the 2nd episode with interviews that I recorded on the road in recent weeks. As a special treat you are going to hear not just one, but four interviews today that were recorded at the PMO Syposium in Dallas, TX. Each interview is obviously going to be about PMOs, but with a twist... I attended the PMO Symposium to help out Mark Perry. Mark is a good friend of mine, the host of The PMO Podcast and his company BOT International was an exhibitor at the PMO Symposium. He asked me to fly in and help at the BOT booth. There I quickly realized that the other consultants from BOT International who were working at the booth were all exceptional experts in their fields. So I decided to ask each of them 3 questions that connect their field of experience with the topic of PMO. In this episode you will hear: Terry Doerscher with whom we focus on Project Portfolio Management Steve Romero whose expertise is IT Governance and how it relates to PMO Mel Bost who will tell you what a PMO needs to do in order to improve lessons learned in your organization And last but not least Mark Perry with whom I discuss what business driven PMO setup and strategy means. {loadposition content_adsense468} | 12/16/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Two weeks later I attended the PMO Symposium in Orlando Florida. As always I meet a lot of interesting people at these events, which is a great opportunity for me to sit down with them and bring you their thoughts, concerns, ideas and insights. So over the coming weeks we are going to delve into 10 interviews that were recorded at these two events and we begin with a discussion I had with two representatives from the PMI Guadalajara Chapter from Mexico. My guests Felipe Nunez and Edgar Polanco are attending the congress mainly to participate in the PMI Leadership Meeting, which usually precedes the congress. In this meeting leaders and board members from PMI Chapters get together to learn from each others experience of leading a volunteer project management organization. We discuss their impressions of the Leadership Meeting, the Global Congress and how they will be setting up their own, local congress in Guadalajara in 2012.{loadposition content_adsense468} | 12/8/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Episode 200 Part 1: The Number One Challenge in Project Management Today | Listen Now: When I started thinking about what to do for episode 200 knew that I definitely didn’t want to do a self-congratulatory, anniversary episode. So I decided instead that I would be lazy, take a step back and ask 20 thought-leaders in project management one simple question:In your opinion, what is the number one challenge that project management is facing today and how do we best address it?The responses I received are as varied as the people I asked. In total we have over 1 hour of insights, which is why episode 200 consists of 4 parts. Parts 1-3 are all the audio responses and part 4 are the videos. And now... without further ado here are Josh Nankivel - www.pmstudent.com Mark Perry - www.thepmopodcast.com Margaret Meloni - www.margaretmeloni.com Tom Mochal - www.tenstep.com Max Wideman - www.maxwideman.com Jason Westland - www.method123.com with their number one challenge and solution to project management today.{loadposition content_adsense468} | 11/25/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Customer Reviews
Consistent - Informative - Engaging
Cornelius consistently delivers quality project management content with excellent sound quality. The variety of topics he covers makes for an entertaining mix of educational food for thought. I especially enjoy the interviews focused on specific aspects of PM or methodologies. If your job is related to project management in any way or your career may be headed in that direction, this is one of the best podcasts for you to listen to!
Definitely the PM Podfather
Cornelius is undoubtedly the podfather of all project management podcasts. His is the podcast that has launched a thousand other PM podcasts like my own. I have been listening to the PM Podcast since Feb, 2007 and as a result I have learned all kinds of things about project management through both his PM podcast and PM Prepcast. Both are excellent in quality, content, and creativity. His interviews are informative and Cornelius definitely knows his subject. Keep up the good work! Ron Holohan, PMP The pm411.org Project Management Podcast
Interesting, topical & relevant project management podcasting
One of the greatest things about podcasting is being able to connect with many people and share in the experiences of those who have similar interests like our own. The information shared in these podcasts comes from someone who is not only experienced, but also has a real desire to connect with others in his field and share his experiences. While many people are hoarding information in order to try to make themselves more valuable, Cornelius and his associates take a higher road and pool their knowledge through collaboration rather than competition. I encourage everyone to listen to these podcasts and hear what professionalism and good business sense sounds like.
