Presidentrsquos Column
This time just a few words from me I was very busy over the last couples of weeks
finalizing the program for our 2014 Summit Of course I am biased as I am member of the
program board for this Summit but belief me it is a program worthwhile at least viewing
if not considering participating We already have close to 70 subscriptions without even
having the full program announced Pretty convincing donrsquot you think See for yourself
via wwwpmi-netherlands-summitcom and keep an eye on this site for the next weeks or
so as we will announce the full program shortly Hope we will meet and greet at this
event
Furthermore I was working with our secretary to release our first annual report We
completely underestimated how much work this was but we had fun putting it together
Hope you enjoy it and hopefully it will help in creating a different more inspiring annual
meeting as that call from several members initiated this As we completely underestimated the amount of
work and we definitely needed to release it before our annual meeting on the 26th we were not able to
capture more content form members and sponsors to add picture and so on Nevertheless I think we should
continue delivering annual reports but that is also up to you So let us know what you think of it A perhaps you
would like to volunteer for next edition I think we could do with an editorial committee for this annual report
But first letrsquos find out if you appreciate the annual report
Thatrsquos it for now Letrsquos keep up to good work Enjoy being a project manager enjoy being part of the PMI
community in the Netherlands

From the desk of the Director Events
Dear PMINLCH Member
When writing this Irsquom really looking forward to our upcoming Annual
Meeting We are harvesting the knowledge and experience of our
members to explore trends in the Project Management world In a
world-cafeacute setting we will have a workshop like event which will allow
our members to explore how they should and could develop
themselves and how the chapter can best support them Perhaps this
will result in some novice and creative new wave in the Dutch project
management world
For the April chapter event were investigating to have the meeting at the INSynQ office in
Eindhoven The INSynQ office is nicely situated in the Kennedy tower close to the railway
station and with a lot of parking space close by As soon as there are more details available
this will be communicated through our social media channels
Then in May due to the nice opportunity Kembit is offering us we have another event in
Eindhoven an interesting lecture on decision making in political sensitive environments by
prof Allard van Riel (Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen) who approaches the topic from
academic perspective followed by real life experiences of an alderman of the municipal of
Eindhoven
Wersquoll keep you posted about the details Hope to see you there

Focus on PM Research
Welcome to the Focus on PM Research column of this Newsletter The idea is to brief you about thought-provoking results from research studies about Project Management around the world Sometimes the news item will be brand new sometimes not The purpose is to give you a benchmark to compare against your own insights What do project managers learn from their experiences We know that project management is very much a ldquolearning by doingrdquo profession That means that PMrsquos learn most of what they know about their job from their own experiences in reality Much more than from the formal training they received (if they had any such training) Recently I presented the results from our PMI sponsored research on this subject For those of you who could not attend the session I will summarize these findings The leading questions of our investigation were
1 How and why do people become project managers 2 What do project managers learn from their experiences 3 What stimulates project managers in their professional development 4 What kind of support do they miss most
We interviewed 31 project managers in the Netherlands and the UK A majority of them work in the fields of ICT or Building amp Construction Some of the interesting conclusions are
1 People generally do not plan to become a project manager They sort of drift into it Typical answers to the question of ldquoHow did you become a project managerrdquo are ldquoI started doing things like organizing and coordinating the project because I like doing those things and nobody else did itrdquo and ldquoMy supervisor noted that I was taking this up and asked me if I wanted to become a project managerrdquo When asked ldquoWhat attracts you most in being a project managerrdquo our respondents indicated in large majority that they valued ldquoGetting to resultsrdquo ldquoWorking with as teamrdquo and ldquoVariety of challengesrdquo more than anything else
2 Project managers learn mostly about
How to deal with different expectations regarding their role
How to carry responsibility without having appropriate authority
How to manage conflicting interests
How to manage by leadership rather than expertise 3 What stimulates project managers in their professional development
Sharing experiences with colleagues
Mentoring by senior line of project managers
Guided project evaluation 4 The kind of support they miss most is
Lack of a clear career development policy
Limited choice in choosing a next project assignment
Do these results align with your experiences Irsquod love to hear about it What we found most surprising is that although experiential learning is the major way to learn the job for project

Agile LIWg White paper Chapter 3 How to run an Agile
project What tools and techniques are available
When answering Q2 we have advocated considering Agile project management as a separate (PM) project
management method to be used in project environments that are characterized by uncertainty This is caused
by the novelty of the domain of the project to the organization andor new technologies that are being used
(technology is unknown)
Positioning of PM methods adapted model from RD Stacey
In this white paper we try to find an answer for Q 3 How to run an Agile project what tools and techniques
are available When finding the answers to several sub questions we used the course book for passing the
PMI Agile Certified Practitioner Exam This book is written by Mike Griffiths

From the desk of the Director Events
Dear PMINLCH Member
When writing this Irsquom really looking forward to our upcoming Annual
Meeting We are harvesting the knowledge and experience of our
members to explore trends in the Project Management world In a
world-cafeacute setting we will have a workshop like event which will allow
our members to explore how they should and could develop
themselves and how the chapter can best support them Perhaps this
will result in some novice and creative new wave in the Dutch project
management world
For the April chapter event were investigating to have the meeting at the INSynQ office in
Eindhoven The INSynQ office is nicely situated in the Kennedy tower close to the railway
station and with a lot of parking space close by As soon as there are more details available
this will be communicated through our social media channels
Then in May due to the nice opportunity Kembit is offering us we have another event in
Eindhoven an interesting lecture on decision making in political sensitive environments by
prof Allard van Riel (Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen) who approaches the topic from
academic perspective followed by real life experiences of an alderman of the municipal of
Eindhoven
Wersquoll keep you posted about the details Hope to see you there

Focus on PM Research
Welcome to the Focus on PM Research column of this Newsletter The idea is to brief you about thought-provoking results from research studies about Project Management around the world Sometimes the news item will be brand new sometimes not The purpose is to give you a benchmark to compare against your own insights What do project managers learn from their experiences We know that project management is very much a ldquolearning by doingrdquo profession That means that PMrsquos learn most of what they know about their job from their own experiences in reality Much more than from the formal training they received (if they had any such training) Recently I presented the results from our PMI sponsored research on this subject For those of you who could not attend the session I will summarize these findings The leading questions of our investigation were
1 How and why do people become project managers 2 What do project managers learn from their experiences 3 What stimulates project managers in their professional development 4 What kind of support do they miss most
We interviewed 31 project managers in the Netherlands and the UK A majority of them work in the fields of ICT or Building amp Construction Some of the interesting conclusions are
1 People generally do not plan to become a project manager They sort of drift into it Typical answers to the question of ldquoHow did you become a project managerrdquo are ldquoI started doing things like organizing and coordinating the project because I like doing those things and nobody else did itrdquo and ldquoMy supervisor noted that I was taking this up and asked me if I wanted to become a project managerrdquo When asked ldquoWhat attracts you most in being a project managerrdquo our respondents indicated in large majority that they valued ldquoGetting to resultsrdquo ldquoWorking with as teamrdquo and ldquoVariety of challengesrdquo more than anything else
2 Project managers learn mostly about
How to deal with different expectations regarding their role
How to carry responsibility without having appropriate authority
How to manage conflicting interests
How to manage by leadership rather than expertise 3 What stimulates project managers in their professional development
Sharing experiences with colleagues
Mentoring by senior line of project managers
Guided project evaluation 4 The kind of support they miss most is
Lack of a clear career development policy
Limited choice in choosing a next project assignment
Do these results align with your experiences Irsquod love to hear about it What we found most surprising is that although experiential learning is the major way to learn the job for project

Agile LIWg White paper Chapter 3 How to run an Agile
project What tools and techniques are available
When answering Q2 we have advocated considering Agile project management as a separate (PM) project
management method to be used in project environments that are characterized by uncertainty This is caused
by the novelty of the domain of the project to the organization andor new technologies that are being used
(technology is unknown)
Positioning of PM methods adapted model from RD Stacey

From the desk of the Director Events
Dear PMINLCH Member
When writing this Irsquom really looking forward to our upcoming Annual
Meeting We are harvesting the knowledge and experience of our
members to explore trends in the Project Management world In a
world-cafeacute setting we will have a workshop like event which will allow
our members to explore how they should and could develop
themselves and how the chapter can best support them Perhaps this
will result in some novice and creative new wave in the Dutch project
management world
For the April chapter event were investigating to have the meeting at the INSynQ office in
Eindhoven The INSynQ office is nicely situated in the Kennedy tower close to the railway
station and with a lot of parking space close by As soon as there are more details available
this will be communicated through our social media channels
Then in May due to the nice opportunity Kembit is offering us we have another event in
Eindhoven an interesting lecture on decision making in political sensitive environments by
prof Allard van Riel (Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen) who approaches the topic from
academic perspective followed by real life experiences of an alderman of the municipal of
Eindhoven
Wersquoll keep you posted about the details Hope to see you there
Henk-Jan Molenkamp

Focus on PM Research
Welcome to the Focus on PM Research column of this Newsletter The idea is to brief you about thought-provoking results from research studies about Project Management around the world Sometimes the news item will be brand new sometimes not The purpose is to give you a benchmark to compare against your own insights What do project managers learn from their experiences We know that project management is very much a ldquolearning by doingrdquo profession That means that PMrsquos learn most of what they know about their job from their own experiences in reality Much more than from the formal training they received (if they had any such training) Recently I presented the results from our PMI sponsored research on this subject For those of you who could not attend the session I will summarize these findings The leading questions of our investigation were
1 How and why do people become project managers 2 What do project managers learn from their experiences 3 What stimulates project managers in their professional development 4 What kind of support do they miss most
We interviewed 31 project managers in the Netherlands and the UK A majority of them work in the fields of ICT or Building amp Construction Some of the interesting conclusions are
1 People generally do not plan to become a project manager They sort of drift into it Typical answers to the question of ldquoHow did you become a project managerrdquo are ldquoI started doing things like organizing and coordinating the project because I like doing those things and nobody else did itrdquo and ldquoMy supervisor noted that I was taking this up and asked me if I wanted to become a project managerrdquo When asked ldquoWhat attracts you most in being a project managerrdquo our respondents indicated in large majority that they valued ldquoGetting to resultsrdquo ldquoWorking with as teamrdquo and ldquoVariety of challengesrdquo more than anything else
2 Project managers learn mostly about
How to deal with different expectations regarding their role
How to carry responsibility without having appropriate authority
How to manage conflicting interests
How to manage by leadership rather than expertise 3 What stimulates project managers in their professional development
Sharing experiences with colleagues
Mentoring by senior line of project managers
Guided project evaluation 4 The kind of support they miss most is
Lack of a clear career development policy
Limited choice in choosing a next project assignment
Do these results align with your experiences Irsquod love to hear about it What we found most surprising is that although experiential learning is the major way to learn the job for project

Focus on PM Research
Welcome to the Focus on PM Research column of this Newsletter The idea is to brief you about thought-provoking results from research studies about Project Management around the world Sometimes the news item will be brand new sometimes not The purpose is to give you a benchmark to compare against your own insights What do project managers learn from their experiences We know that project management is very much a ldquolearning by doingrdquo profession That means that PMrsquos learn most of what they know about their job from their own experiences in reality Much more than from the formal training they received (if they had any such training) Recently I presented the results from our PMI sponsored research on this subject For those of you who could not attend the session I will summarize these findings The leading questions of our investigation were
1 How and why do people become project managers 2 What do project managers learn from their experiences 3 What stimulates project managers in their professional development 4 What kind of support do they miss most
We interviewed 31 project managers in the Netherlands and the UK A majority of them work in the fields of ICT or Building amp Construction Some of the interesting conclusions are
1 People generally do not plan to become a project manager They sort of drift into it Typical answers to the question of ldquoHow did you become a project managerrdquo are ldquoI started doing things like organizing and coordinating the project because I like doing those things and nobody else did itrdquo and ldquoMy supervisor noted that I was taking this up and asked me if I wanted to become a project managerrdquo When asked ldquoWhat attracts you most in being a project managerrdquo our respondents indicated in large majority that they valued ldquoGetting to resultsrdquo ldquoWorking with as teamrdquo and ldquoVariety of challengesrdquo more than anything else
2 Project managers learn mostly about
How to deal with different expectations regarding their role
How to carry responsibility without having appropriate authority
How to manage conflicting interests
How to manage by leadership rather than expertise 3 What stimulates project managers in their professional development
Sharing experiences with colleagues
Mentoring by senior line of project managers
Guided project evaluation 4 The kind of support they miss most is
Lack of a clear career development policy
Limited choice in choosing a next project assignment
Do these results align with your experiences Irsquod love to hear about it What we found most surprising is that although experiential learning is the major way to learn the job for project
