What sets this podcast apart from the rest is the ease with which the lads break topics and challenge beliefs. Taking a third perspective they often debate amongst themselves in order to find greater meanings behind the methods and chaos that is the project lifestyle.

I had a brilliant time recording my podcast with Project Chatter. It’s a great way to share experience and ideas, essentially through a simple conversation. If you are involved in project delivery and have expertise you want to give back to the community, give Project Chatter a go.

Podcasting is changing the way we present, debate, discuss, and learn, and our industry lacked a forum that was accessible and consumable in line with our busy lives as project people. Dale and Val are unparalleled in their curiosity and ambition to uncover the most interesting people and ideas in project management, and I highly recommend listening or joining them on the show if you have an idea to share.

I truly enjoyed the podcast with Dale, Val, and Martin. I was expecting something concentrated on my creation of Earned Schedule (ES). I was surprised when it was a conversation about much more. Yes, ES was in the discussion, but so much more came out. Somehow, these fellows took me to areas in my past and career I never would have thought I would be revealing. Their probing style of discussion set me at ease. It felt as though we were at a pub enjoying ourselves. These fellows are true pros. I am honored I was asked to participate.
