Software Management Consulting
Are you having trouble managing your product development or software projects?
- Are you swamped?
- Do you have way more than 40 hours of work sitting on your desk--and they've been there for months?
- Are your projects late?
- Do your products disappoint your customers?
- Are you losing great people?
- Are you having trouble hiring great people?
I'm a management consultant for software managers and leaders. I can help you solve your problems and seize the opportunities you know exist--but can't find yet.
Through my management consulting services, I help you identify your unique strengths and manage your weaknesses, whether it's managing your projects, hiring technical people, leadership skill development, or managing risk. I suggest options for you, and then you decide on an appropriate set of actions. If you like, I help you plan how to accomplish those actions and coach you through those changes.
If you're struggling with your projects right now, see my public project management workshop: Manage It! Pragmatic Project Management.
Sometimes, I assess projects or functional groups. Sometimes, I coach managers or leaders in the organization. I offer interactive workshops for all managers and leaders in the organization: project management training, program management training, building your hiring skills and interviewing skills, managing people, and problem solving leadership. I offer Agile training also: Scrum training, how to make the transition to Agile project management, and hiring for an Agile team. If you're not ready for an entire workshop, I can customize parts of the workshops as a speaking engagement for you.
Take a look at some of my writings, in the forms of articles and papers, or my newsletter, to see my philosophy in action.
My philosophy is that people want to do a good job, they just don't always know what they are supposed to do, nor how to do it.
If you've been waiting for public project management training, wait no more. See the Manage It! Pragmatic Project Management page for more information.
