Song of the Day: Art Tatum

Many consider Art Tatum to be the best jazz pianist ever.  So I recently started listening to his stuff over to identify a favorite.  I think I found it:  his 1954 recording of Cherokee.  Amazing stuff.

Project Management as a metaphore for jazz improvisation

Especially at the point of project estimation, the relationship between project management and jazz improvisation should be apparent.  In jazz improvisation, you have to intuitively recognize the chord progression and rhythm and have a repertoire of response patterns ready to knit together.

 

The article below - regarding scheduling development via parametric analysis - illustrates that while you are sensing the business change progression and rhythm of the changes that the business is going through already, you have to already have a deep repertoire of system and service response patterns that can be fitted to the context.
