Johanna Rothman Cutter Consortium Consultant

Johanna Rothman started managing her project portfolio in 1986, out of necessity. She started managing projects before we had software tools to discover critical paths. She managed her first program in 1988, to lead the first LISP on a chip project. Her most recent program management was managing the 2009 Agile conference.

Johanna is the author of several books:

• Manage Your Project Portfolio: Increase Your Capacity and Finish More Projects
• The 2008 Jolt-award winning Manage It! Your Guide to Modern, Pragmatic Project Management
• Behind Closed Doors: Secrets of Great Management
• Hiring the Best Knowledge Workers, Techies & Nerds: The Secrets and Science of Hiring Technical People

She writes columns on "extreme project management" for Gantthead.com, and writes two blogs on her web site, jrothman.com. She is the project-manager-for-life for the Amplifying Your Effectiveness conference.
