Project management consulting and training for social change organisations.

Back in February of last year I mentioned I was taking a one year sabbatical from Important Projects to take a contract with The Economist to help them move to Drupal and to adopt Scrum. Since then I've upgraded my visa and become a full-time employee — Frankie wants to stay in New York for a while, I'm really liking it here, I've started the NYC Scrum User Group which I'm quite excited about, and the truth is, my work's not done at The Economist.
Not sure what this means for Important Projects at this point. Today is the sixth anniversary of the company, BTW. And I didn't even make a vegan chocolate cake.
Nobody knows what the future will bring. In the meantime, I've started a personal site.
I'm thinking back on the five years of Important Projects fondly today, thinking about all the amazing people I worked with and hoping you're all doing very well :)

At DrupalCon DC in March I got to meet Kent Bye of Lullabot face-to-face for the first time, which was great (great to meet all the Lullabots I hadn't met in person before, actually, and to catch up with the rest of them).
Kent interviewed me for the Drupal Voices podcast — I got to talk about the Drupal projects I've worked on in the past, about Drupal for NGOs and about Scrum.
I think I'd had a bit too much coffee that morning but Kent did a good job of editing out the bits I was especially worried about — take a listen!

Like I said in my last post, I'm on sabbatical this year, but today's still the fifth anniversary of Important Projects!
In keeping with tradition, I made a vegan chocolate cake to celebrate :)
If I've worked with you at any point over the last five years, I'm thinking fondly of you today :)
