		<description><![CDATA[When considering developing a Project Management Office (PMO) an organization must consider factors that contribute to the success of this effort.

		<description><![CDATA[  So I’ve been talking a lot lately about IT governance to just about anyone who will listen.  The reaction I get from many people is that they just don’t have the time or resources to address it.  Others think it’s just for the big companies, and their small or medium business doesn’t need IT [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[  It’s taken a long time, but I’m happy to see that many IT organizations are starting to get it.  Project management is important to IT, and we need more of it.  Sure project management has been around IT for decades, but has it really been effective?  And what about the not-so-large businesses and small [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Typically, when starting a new project the project manager spells out each of the required team members and their skills, the team members’ roles and responsibilities, and finally, their task assignments.   This is spelled out in a Project Roles document and provides clarity and helps to ensure accountability for the project team.   Unfortunately, I’ve found that the [...]]]></description>
