PPPM BEHIND THE SCENES #3 – MARTIN GOFF

My third guest is Martin Goff, who has over 20 years’ experience on banking, media, and telecoms projects. He started out in software engineering, then realised that project management would be a better fit, so obtained PRINCE2 qualification. He was at Fujitsu for many years and today acts principally as a Senior Program Manager.

Join us on a reflection of the project management profession, on aspects such as confusing Project Management with Programme Management skillsets, flexibility to meet demands, and how tools have matured. We also cover people management, communication, and the importance of understanding both the WHAT and the WHY of each project. VUCA is again cited, as is the buzz of completing a project. Anyone heard about BASIC, PASCAL, COBOL, PINO?
