For several years now I have been consulting with a wide variety of clients to help them improve their processes and systems. If you bring me in, note that I am trained as a socio-technical systems analyst and make a couple of core assumptions:

My dissertation research and prior work centers heavily on project-based work. I did not intend to study project management originally.

As a result, I have become a project management researcher. One basic project management resource everyone should know is the Project Management Institute.

I have also been developing and experimenting with open-source workflow tools including the Galaxia workflow tool and the workflow module in Drupal. None has particularly impressed me as well-done yet, even the more complex ones that enable full flow modeling, simulation, and optimization
