Will the world end early?
Will the zombie apocalypse begin?
What will happen?

One of my responsibilities at Atlassian is to shape how we position our solutions within evolving market trends. I was asked to write a series of blog posts to help articulate the position. Below is an excerpt. To read the entire post or download the whitepaper, just select the button.
As an executive, you will be faced with the choice to do the pivot (if you can) or persevere (if you have no other choice). This will lead to a series of “bets”. You lead with a hypothesis that the things you change will allow you to operate at pre-event levels. But, how long will it actually take for you to validate your hypothesis and have a bet pay off with pre-event levels? If you run out of time to figure it out or run out of bets you can place, then you either lose your standing in the market or worse risk going out of business.
Regardless of the organization or institution, there will always be dependencies. The larger the organization, the greater chance of the existence of dependencies.

The first full day of the PMI Agile Community of Practice strategic planning session just wrapped up. It's been an amazing day. We discussed how we could help Project Management Practitioners, PMI Members, CoP Volunteers, and Agile Leaders. Topics ranged from increasing awareness of Agile, to the PMI-ACP, and a PMI-ACP Glossary. Though we all come from all over the country, different organizations, and different backgrounds, we have at least one thing in common. We all have a passion for Agile.
Because the PMI-ACP certification is transitioning to an operational stage, myself and a few others focused deeply on what we wanted to see happen in 2012. First, you'll be seeing the PMI-ACP v1.1 coming January 31. You should see PMI-ACP v1.2 out the end of the second quarter. I'll save the real good stuff for subsequent posts. Until then, goodnight from Miami.
