Had our department away day today. And it seemed to go well. Well, there was a free bar afterward, and I wasn't driving, so certainly from that perspective it was a resounding success!
Had the opporunity to hear from our new Head of Project Management, Andrew Brown, on the way ahead and the ideas on how we'll approach Project Management. Which sounds great, more so since I'll be positioned as part of the team looking at the tool and process delivery. Exciting times ahead me thinks.
Also presented the latest on Primavera between the three of us. And the new intranet site got a rav review, "What did you use to create the site then?, Dreamweaver, Hot Metal Pro?", "Errr no," says I, "Notepad...."
Bit of feedback on issues, but overall an acceptance of what Primavera can do, and what P3e 4.1 will deliver. And agreement on the use of Excel as a tool for the short term reporting side of things. So I'd better sort out my Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) skills pronto.
