The article says, "hire more project managers;" I don't necessarily agree with that. Most CIOs want to build a heavy PMO, but the problems I deal with are the PMs that don't have technical skills. technical experience, or know how to work with the business unit. I would prefer to have more specialist, such as: BAs, QAs, and report writers; so everyone's can focus on one thing instead of the things they shouldn't.

Oh dear dog, yes, that is one of my (many) biggest pet peeves. It's also probably one of the biggest markers for "this project will fail unless magic happens." Today's activities were definitely an example at one of my customers. :mad:

My experience has always been companies not getting things done enough so it's 'hire more PM's' despite the fact the problem was always there wasn't actually enough technical people to do the actual work.

Wow, there are skills now in agile? I thought knowledge, coding and delivering are skills. Not telling people what to do without having the slightest idea on what's on the corner.

+5 What ever happened to careful contemplation? Knowledge? Other such mundanes? It's a new take on ounce of prevention vs. pound of cure: A big pile of worthless sh*t gives them the feeling something is being accomplished, even if it's a permanent state of debugging.
