More open process could encourage adoption, ultimately improving IT project management across the industry. Organizations that have no experience with PMBOK or ITIL may not bother with it due to the expense and closed nature.
As I've been on projects with large schedule overruns, I am becoming more interested in the topic of project management to try to do better. However, ITIL and PMBOK seem way to heavy for what I need at a glance. My first approach is to simply look at following documented agile processes. What says that PMBOK and ITIL are the best options? In order to provide a FLOSS alternative, you'll need to build a community that really wants this stuff and can contribute the body of knowledge.
- christianbryant 13y agoGood point about a community that actually wants it. Perhaps a product of the process should be a demonstrative project, also, similar to how FLOSS projects are products of free and open source development methodologies. Over the last five years of study and practical application of PMBOK and ITIL in my work environment, I've certainly found value. However, from a FLOSS perspective, I also see why Agile and Lean are more favored by our developers as opposed to the more documentation- and process-heavy formal ITIL and PMBOK.
