This blog has been living in the back of my mind for quite a while. Over the years, as part of my work, I’ve spent a lot of time on ScienceDirect , a website packed with scientific publications. For those who haven’t crossed paths with it, it’s a rich library of research articles, book chapters, and peer-reviewed journals across all kinds of disciplines. It’s run by Elsevier, one of the major global publishers in science and technology.

One day, while digging into articles, I came across the International Journal of Project Management, created in collaboration with the APM (Association for Project Management) and IPMA ( International Project Management Association).

That was the spark.

One article led to another, and then another. Before I knew it, I had dived deep—following references, making notes, connecting dots. Some articles opened my eyes. Others… not so much. But they all helped me discover a side of project management I hadn’t seen before—a more structured, research-driven world full of ideas.

That’s where this blog comes in.

I’m not here to teach anyone anything. Really, quite the opposite. This is just a place for me to share. To make sense of what I’ve learned, reflect on the things that struck me, and keep the conversation going with people who, like me, care has interest and passion for project management.

You’ll find thoughts, questions, articles I’ve read, things I’ve tried, and lessons I’ve learned (sometimes the hard way). I hope some of it resonates with you. And maybe it even sparks a few new ideas of your own.

I truly hope that the time you spend reading these pages will be useful for you in some way.
Thanks for being here.
