That’s a great introduction for the panel. PM2.0 indeed has a lot to do with collaboration and bottom-up planning: http://www.wrike.com/projectmanagement/02/07/2008/Top-down-and-Bottom-up-Project -Management-Leveraging-the-Advantages-of-the-Two-Approaches.

If anyone wants to contribute to the definition of the term, your comments are welcome at http://www.wrike.com/projectmanagement/01/15/2008/Definition-of-Project-Manageme nt-2-0

I look forward to see everybody at the panel. Let's make it a great collaborative experience. In case you miss it, you may find interesting information on the subject in my recent paper at http://pmsymposium.utdallas.edu/PapersandSlides/8-18%20IS%20&%20Agile/Filev,%20A .-Project%20Management%202.0%20The%20Ultimate%20Benefits%20of%20the%20New%20Appr oach%20to%20PM.pdf

By and large, the last decade software (namely SaaS) is more about users and less about management. This was SFDC point of entry in CRM (I don't think anyone knows how many seats of Siebel were never used by sales people that hated it) and it set the tone when it comes to user centricity accross the industry.

Nicely put Zoli. When compared to project governance, project execution requires a lot more coordination and a different working context; regardless of the methodology used.

In order to track to that pretty MS Project promise the detailed tasks, unexpected problems, new priorities, design changes, technology refreshes, maintenance and dynamics of people all need to be stewarded to become "non-events". Lets not forget the teams that are working on more than one (unrelated) project at a time too!

Three is good company. A good leader aligns people and processes with agile, easy to use tools that focus on activity management and execution.
