By trade Igor Zdorovyak is a Technical Business Transformation Project, Program, Portfolio Manager with expertise in PMI, Scrum Agile, Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, ITIL and other methodologies, techniques and practices. For many years Igor has been writing about What It Takes to Succeed interviewing leaders and experts in their fields. Now he is bringing it to the masses, as Tim Ferriss would say, on a new platform. Igor’s second guest brings a fresh approach to tackling complex projects. Terry Schmidt’s latest book “Strategic Project Management Made Simple: Practical Tools for Leaders and Teams” (Wiley). His methodology has been called a breakthrough approach and the book is recognized as one of the 8 best PM books on the market, along with noted authors Peter Drucker and Jim Collins. Terry is president of ManagementPro, a Seattle based consulting and training company. Terry is a recognized expert in Strategic Planning and Project Management who has helped over 25,000 people in industries of all types in 42 countries to solve business problems through his innovative Logical Framework Approach (LFA). The Logical Framework captures key elements of a project in a 4x4 visual matrix that integrates key concepts from strategic thinking, project management, and the scientific method. Terry has identified four critical questions that populate the matrix and help teams to create their own strong strategic foundation. These questions are: 1. What are we trying to accomplish and why? 2. How will we measure success? 3. What other conditions must exist? 4. How do we get there? The first question brings a clear understanding of the what and why of a project. The second and third questions clarify success measures and identify the risky assumptions that can later cause problems if not spotted early. The forth questions helps to lay out the activities, budgets, and schedules. Most project approaches concentrate on the how without first adequately addressing the three other questions. Project managers of all skill levels can get outstanding results by using these four critical questions, the “LogFrame” matrix, and the embedded innovative concepts that help design better projects faster. Terry is kind enough to offer additional free resources at https:bit.ly/Terry-WITS These include an article about the Logical Framework, plus a 12 minute "live" video filmed at a PMI conference, in which he guides a group developing a LogFrame project plan to save dogs from euthanasia. Both are useful and informative. To learn more about Igor visit and connect with him on LinkedIn at: https://www.Linkedin.com/in/IgorZdorovyak Check out Igor’s latest articl
