Searching for the perfect project management application can feel a bit like being Goldilocks — taste-testing each app until, finally, you settle on the choice that is “just right.” Are extensive reporting and invoicing capabilities too hot?

Project managers are often stereotyped as office stiffs with permanent stacks of Stick It notes in their back pockets, quietly and heroically keeping the wheels on the bus going round and round. However, real humans do not fit easily into stereotypes — and this one is simply too narrow to stand up to even mild […]

Now that I have alienated our entire British commonwealth audience, let’s turn our attention to Scrum’s other meaning, the one in the field of project management. In snazzy technical terms, scrum project management is “an iterative […]
