A Compendium of Works to Increase the Probability of Project Success
Here are my collected works, presentations, briefings, journal papers, articles, white papers, and essays, used to increase the Probability of Project Success (PoPS) I've developed and applied over my career in the software-intensive system of systems domain.
Each of these has been presented at a conference, published in a refereed journal, or a book or a chapter in a book, or presented during a client engagement.
