\"\"<\/a> Professionally, I’m a management consultant. I work with high-tech organizations to improve how they manage their product development—to maximize management and technical staff productivity and to improve product quality. I take a pragmatic approach; I don’t care where you are, I’m interested in what you could do for your next steps to improve.<\/p>\n

I’m well-known for (and have a lot to say about!)\u00a0 project management, program management, project portfolio management (agile or not), and hiring technical people. Please see my books<\/a> page.<\/p>\n

I\u00a0 write tons of articles and columns<\/a>. I also write a professional blog: Managing Product Development.<\/a><\/p>\n

Personally, I’m a wife and mother. On September 5, 2009, I suffered an inner ear hemorrhage<\/a>. That left me with permanent vertigo and total (sudden) deafness in my right ear. This blog is about what I’ve learned and how I’ve helped other people manage their changes—desired or not.<\/p>\n
