Advancing PMIS as a
Professional Discipline
I work at the intersection of projects, information, governance and systems to help project-based organizations build PMIS capabilities that produce trusted, traceable and decision-grade information.
PMIS is a discipline, not merely a tool.
Project Management Information Systems should not be reduced to software, dashboards or reporting platforms. PMIS is an organizational capability through which project information is governed, structured, integrated, interpreted and made usable for accountable decision-making.
PMIS Strategy
Aligning project information capabilities with organizational objectives, governance structures, project delivery models and decision-making needs.
PMIS Governance
Establishing ownership, stewardship, decision rights, accountability, policies and controls for reliable project information.
PMIS Architecture
Designing coherent information structures, integrations, sources of truth, interoperability and enterprise project information environments.
Decision-Grade Information
Building information that is trusted, traceable, interpreted, validated, owned and actionable for accountable management decisions.
Building the foundations of PMIS as a professional discipline.
My current work combines knowledge development, institution building and professional practice
to strengthen PMIS as a coherent field of knowledge and organizational capability.
PMISbok
Project Management Information Systems Body of Knowledge
PMISbok is being developed to provide a structured foundation for PMIS as a professional discipline, covering its principles, governance, professional roles, architecture, processes, decision-grade information, competencies and organizational capability.
IIPMIS
The International Institute of Project Management Information Systems was established to advance PMIS through knowledge, professional development, research, community and dialogue.

Developing the conversation around PMIS.
PMIS Notes explores the governance, information and decision-making questions that emerge as PMIS develops from a technology category into a professional discipline.
Decision-Grade Information
What makes project information sufficiently reliable, traceable, interpreted and actionable for accountable management decisions?
Governance & Stewardship
Who owns project information, who governs it and who translates approved governance into consistent operational practice?
PMIS in the Age of AI
Why AI readiness depends first on governed, structured, traceable and decision-grade project information.
PMIS needs more than better tools. It needs a professional discipline.
My current work through PMISbok, IIPMIS, research and advisory practice is focused on helping establish
the concepts, governance, professional roles, information architecture and organizational capabilities
required for PMIS to mature as a professional discipline.
