Covid-19 did more than just cause a worldwide lock-down, it highlighted the fact that some of our current PPM practices are potentially causing harm. Resources don’t code, resources aren’t creative problem solvers, people are. The good news is simply by shifting our mental model, measurable productivity goes up, benefits are realized, strategy gets executed and people will become engaged in their work once again.

DONNA FITZGERALD
Donna Fitzgerald managed her first IT program more than a decade before the 1996 version of the PMBoK was published. In the mid-90s, she became active in the nascent agile development community and later wrote for Tech Republic as the Nimble PM. In 2007, she joined Gartner’s equally nascent PPM research group, where she spent ten years.
Today, Donna is the chief product evangelist for ProSymmetry and a member of the Analyst Syndicate. While she’s occasionally accused of being an iconoclast, her commitment to helping PMs deliver successful projects and programs has never wavered.
