We aren’t huge fans of games, but this one has a “teachable moment” and a true reward for one lucky winner.
The rules are simple and the prize is flexible.
Let’s start with the prize: it’s a free license to OSP International’s PDU Podcast or the PMP Prepcast – excellent downloadable media products that help you keep your PMP Credential if you already have it, or earn it if you don’t yet have it. The winner would be saving somewhere between $100 and $200!
Now let’s get to the rules.
As usual, we want each post – even a game – to be educational. So with this post we expose one of the ideas from our book – the ‘green spectrum’ - and ask you to comment on this post with a reaction that tells us:
- where you think your current project fits on this spectrum (choose one of the four points below)
- why you think it’s where it is (just a sentence or two)
Here you see a figure from our book, Green Project Management. You’ll need to read the book for the juicy details. Here’s a summary: we describe a spectrum of projects – from those that are “Green by Definition”, because the projects themselves have a deliverable related directly to sustainability – such as the turn up of a wind farm – to those projects which may not have any obvious connection to sustainability, like a new software release. In the text, we describe the PM’s role in each of these four points along the spectrum.
We’re interested to know where you and your project sit on this spectrum.
Respond by answering the two questions above with a comment below, we’ll draw a winner by the end of September.
