I subscribe to a 100 or so blogs through Google Reader. There are a few I read all the time. One is Eight to Late, by Kailash Await. I too had a another life in physics - doing experimental work on deep inelastic scattering and writing Kalman filters to grab signals from a 100db below the noise, which turned into "going to the dark side, in the radar / sonar target identification business."
K as he calls himself has a great post titled, "The Role of Cognitive Biases in Project Failure." The post itself is a must read. But more importantly is the other content of the Blog. It's the example of what project management should be like in all domains, not just defense.
There are some other Blogs in the same class:
- Paul Ritchie's Crossbery Blog
- Craig Brown's Better Projects
- Pat Weaver's MoasicProjects
- Ron Rosenhead's
There are many other Blog's worth the effort to follow. But these 4 provide top notch content, with thoughtful ideas, and absolutely credible opinions. When I figure out how to "share" my entire list from Google Reader, I post them here.
