Tonight we are having our monthly Puget Sound IASA meeting on the topic of “Managing Investment Across the Project Life Cycle”. Here is the abstract for tonight‘s meeting:
Scott Came, Monica Yap, and Tamara Sulaiman will be conducting a panel discussion about managing investment in projects from conception to delivery. Scott will discuss how enterprise architecture can be used as a mechanism to guide enterprise technology investment planning, and will illustrate how state government is doing so. Scott will also touch on SOA, and how to view technology investments as the provisioning of capabilities rather than technologies per se. Monica Yap will be discussing how her project teams are meeting investment costs through lean development methods and portfolio P&L (profit & loss) to validate business value. Tamara Sulaiman will discuss how she manages earned value by applying waterfall calculation techniques to agile projects.
Meeting Location:
Microsoft Campus – Building 43, Room 1560

If you are in the Seattle metropolitan area tonight, come and check out the local IASA meeting. It is usually a place of great discussions and intelligent thoughts. I learn a lot while at the meetings. See you there.
