Project portfolio management is not a new phenomenon. We all do it as technology executives, and we're likely to be good at it based on traditional norms. The environment of project management has been constantly evolving. Given how market fluctuations control people, processes, and projects, the introduction of a new strategy for project execution is equivalent to stabbing uncertainty.

The term: Project portfolio management

Is Agile for Dummies?

Antifragile - Dose Response

In this posting we take a look at Nassim Taleb's video and show a working example of the Sigmoid function in R Project.

Risk and Issue are two words that are often confused when it comes to their usage. Actually there is some difference between them. The word ‘risk’ is used in the sense of ‘chance’. On the other hand, the word ‘issue’ is used in the sense of ‘matter’.

Uh-Oh!  This is a show-stopper.  We can’t complete the project on time because the server needed won’t be available for another month! What can we do now?

This is not a new problem for Project Managers to have encountered. Is this a risk or an issue?
