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.

For the rare moment when I need create a diagram in a computer, I'll use PowerPoint. However, mostly it's just the whiteboard or pen+paper. I like the chance to not look at the screen and, for the former, getting out of my chair.

Baltimore, MD; Reston, VA; - Videology - FULL TIME, INTERN (H1B maybe if already in US)

Videology Group - http://www.videologygroup.com/

Internet advertising startup looking primarily for server-side Java developers (if your Java is rusty but you're good, drop us a note anyway). I was working for a start-up called LucidMedia Networks (hence the "lmn" in the e-mail address below), which got acquired by Videology. The Baltimore office is a .NET shop, but the Reston office is Java on *nix (Mac for dev, Linux in production, and no plans to use Microsoft anything). Our stack is Java on Spring with MySQL and some NoSQL stores on AWS. We have some big projects in the works involving big data and volume as we scale globally and across mediums (video, mobile, etc.). Currently, our Reston platform alone handles 4 billion requests a day.

I actually got hired through a HN "Who is Hiring" thread, and I hired an intern through these threads. These things do work!

Yes, I got hired via "Who's Hiring" and I've hired an intern through it. A positive experience indeed.

Why are you so vague about this killer idea?

I have also needed a tool like this when doing acceptance tests. We had acceptance tests that needed to be traced back to requirements. A QA guy used an XML document to write all the requirements and tests and then wrote a Python script to generate HTML that presented the requirements, tests, and traceability. Obviously, this is not interactive; it's basically a static site generator for a specific domain. Not ideal.

I hope you're right about the future trend; the cost of raising a family in NYC / SF is a big roadblock for moving out there even considering the opportunities available. Or the alternative solution is the promotion of telecommuting.
