Status Updates & DevOps Periodic Table of Tools

I've been away from nurturing my blog for a couple of weeks because I have been busy developing a calendar so that I can publish articles that are of most value to my readers. Also, these past weeks have been extremely enriching for me as I have been engaged as an Independent Agile coach for a couple of teams. Some of you have reached out to me to write about my experiences as an Agile coach. I have that as one of my topics which I plan to publish soon. I also have compiled a list of questions that I get asked by my potential clients before they bring me into their environments. I will post that in the Tools & Resources Section of my blog.

For today, I wanted to share with you a great resource published by Xebia Labs - DevOps Periodic Table of Tools. It is represented so clearly for anyone that is looking to gain an understanding of the vast landscape of the toolset that is available. If you currently use this table, please share in the comments below how you use it in your organization. If you have never seen this before and have found it a helpful read, please do let me know.

PMI-Milwaukee Breakfast Discussion - Career Planning for Project Managers

I am invited to be a guest speaker/panelist tomorrow at my local Project Management Institute (PMI-Milwaukee) Chapter.  The topic for tomorrow's discussion is: Career Planning for Project Managers. The event is hosted by Direct Supply from 7:00-8:30AM at their offices in Milwaukee.

Presentation Summary:  

Project managers need to manage their careers over the long term just like anyone else. If an organization has more than a few project managers then there will be a mix of people with different skills, experience, and aspirations. It's natural for some people to leave and others to take their places.

How do organizations manage that mix over the long term? What do project managers aspire to do after they've gotten really good at their jobs? What opportunities can we create for them that will use their strengths while helping them to get what they want from their careers?  

If you are interested in learning more about this topic as a blog post, please leave your comments below.

October 2 2016

Warm Autumn wishes! Today is October 2 2016. As I remember to two years ago when I had delivered my toastmasters speech on the occasion October 2 1869, A Glimpse Back in History Also, a lot has changed since that day. I have been away from blogging on my site for almost two years. 

However, I am back now and will be sharing with my readers and followers what I have been doing during this long hiatus. I will be sharing what content topics you can expect to see here and as always, please leave your comments on what topics you are most interested in reading.
