ABSTRACT:
Is there any truth in IT? What I mean by truth is, are there methods, processes and technologies that are always correct? I have been thinking about this question ever since someone asked my for advice on how best to implement portfolio management. I shared my advice but then realized that my perspective was just that -- my perspective. My approach to portfolio management has been different in different situations, and this holds true for a lot of what we do in IT. Is there only one true way to perform change management? How about software development or project management?One of the best ways to get answers to these questions is by building and tapping into a network of fellow IT leaders (whom I call my "network of nerds"). When I wonder how to do something, when I want information about specific technologies or when I want input on doing business with a vendor, I contact my network of nerds and await their responses.
