About Bill Hoberecht
My career has always been centered around Program Management - it's where my interests have been, and I've been very fortunate in having positions and consulting engagements that have given me terrific experiences in creating new programs, recovering failing programs, and most importantly delivering value to the business.
In building a solid foundation for leading programs, I studied quality with W. Edwards Deming, obtained my PMP certification, and completed training at the SEI as a CMM Lead Assessor. I gravitated to leading large programs - most were between $50M and $200M, with the large programs spanning many international locations.
When agile started gaining traction, I completed Scrum Master training with Ken Schwaber. In recent years, Scrum and Kanban have been my preferred methods when an agile mindset is present and agile methods can be effective. I continued my professional development completing SAFe SPC training with Dean Leffingwell.
Most of my programs have succeeded. A few, however, have been “challenged” or have “failed” (using Standish Chaos Report terminology) – these programs have yielded significant lessons learned that continue to influence my approach to projects. These lessons are all incorporated into the materials you’ll find throughout PMO Notebook.
