Stop Managing and Start Thinking

The author has worked for the past ten years managing a wide range of website, software, and advertising projects. She ended up in the IT Industry by accident after relocating to a new and outrageously great city, and she has worked with more than fifty clients ranging from ubiquitous brands to brands so obscure even Google Search doesn't know about them. She has managed projects across a multitude of platforms and technologies, and during that time has experienced e-commerce going mobile, Web 2.0, the social media revolution, the burgeoning of responsive design, and a number of other cool things that go "bump" in the night. Before the call from the temp agency which got her into IT, she worked (not all that zealously) in several other industries and (frankly) preferred writing sublimely perfect fiction. She graduated summa cum laude from a private university so elite few people have ever even heard of it, where she majored in English and Political Science. She does not have a degree in computer science and, thankfully, she is not "certified" in any particular pre-ordained style of project management. She currently lives outside the box.
