I consult, speak, and write on managing high-technology product development. I’ve helped managers, teams, and organizations to become more effective by applying my pragmatic approaches to their issues of hiring, project management, risk management, and people management.

I’m the author of Manage It! Your Guide to Modern Pragmatic Project Management. I’m the coauthor (with Esther Derby) of Behind Closed Doors, Secrets of Great Management, and author of Hiring the Best Knowledge Workers, Techies & Nerds: The Secrets and Science of Hiring Technical People. I’m a host and session leader at the Amplifying Your Effectiveness (AYE) conference.
