Goff chairs stream and speaks at 2010 IPMA World Congress in Istanbul
The IPMA World Congress in Istanbul, in November 2010 was not only stunning, it was an event memorable for a variety of reasons. For example, the opening Keynote was by the Prime Minister of Turkey, His Excellency Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.
Chairing a stream at the Congress means demonstrating project management skills. It includes assuring that all the vital signs of project success are managed for the benefit of the most-important stakeholders–the attendees and speakers. Goff’s Congress paper, Four Opportunities to Improve your Project Portfolio Performance, is available here on our website. A video of an expanded version of the presentation is also available for IPMA-USA members.

Goff’s articles promote chapter 9 in PMI® Book, Project Management Circa 2025
As part of the promotion for PMI’s recently-published book, Project Management Circa 2025, Goff has written articles that expand on his chapter 9, Visions for the PM Software Industry.
Those articles include one that originally appeared at CIO Magazine, The Future of IT Project Management Software. The article has been republished at sister publication ComputerWorld, thus reaching a much-larger audience.
Another article appears in Dr. Dobbs Journal. This was interesting, because this is a developer-centric publication, and project management is a anathema to most developers. However, it was relatively easy to identify visions for the future that developers can appreciate.

Stacy presented at the IPMA World Congress in Shanghai, China.

We have used this tool and process since the early 1980s, when we developed it to assess project competence for a nuclear power plant.
Now, we have aligned our newest version of PM CompModel to IPMA’s ICB 3.0, the IPMA’s Competence Baseline. We celebrate that achievement with an article, based on the theme of that presentation, Distinguishing PM Competence; read the article.
