I’m here in Rome this week, presenting a two-day seminar on “Managing Death-March Projects” for Technology Transfer Institute. You should be there so you can hear whatever clever jokes may occur to me while I’m presenting my material, as well as the comments and questions from the other participants. But if you’re stuck in some […]

I’m giving a 2-hour presentation on “Death March” projects at the Parsons New School for Design in New York City tomorrow (October 31st).

I’ve written various blog postings on the subject of “Good enough” (see, for example, this recent post about the “good enough” nature of Twitter, and this somewhat older one of a more general nature), but it occurred to me that I should acknowledge the opposite end of the spectrum: bad enough.

After a series of annoying and unexpected outages on the Twitter network last week, my fellow blogger/Twitterer Michael Krigsman fired off an angry Twitter message (aka “tweet”) that said something along the lines of, “Twitter is not good enough for the Enterprise!” (Note the emphasis on “Enterprise” here, as opposed to “enterprise”; I’ll discuss that […]

I’m going to be giving a presentation on Web 2.0 in a few days for the Boston SPIN chapter (click here for details), so I thought it would be a good idea to update and revise my evolving mind-map on the topic. As usual, I’ve made it available for downloading, but it now comes […]
