Pragmatic Manager Posted & Update Site I have finally posted my most recent email newsletter, Three Myths and Three Tips. It took a while because I was converting my site to WordPress and I did not want to maintain the site in two places.
I have finally transitioned fully to WordPress. What a relief. All my old articles are finally posted. I have tagged back to somewhere in 2006. I’ll keep tagging as I get around to it.

Looking for Advice on Article Tagging I’m at the end of redesigning my website. I’m posting and tagging my articles now. These are the articles from several years ago I didn’t get around to posting because it was too much of a pain to do in Dreamweaver. Yes, I’ve transitioned to WordPress site.

Leadership, Management, Transitioning to Agile Johanna Rothman has worked with several management teams who want her to train them or their project managers to take over the agile training. While on the surface this doesn't seem an unreasonable request, when one considers the self-managing, self-organizing nature of an agile team, the incongruity of this thinking begins to shine through.
