Everyone has their favorite project management methodology, process, or tool — which may or may not be appropriate for a particular project. But there are some simple "rules" that transcend projects. If applied wisely, they can help you be more successful by avoiding common (if not obvious) pitfalls, focusing on priorities, and bringing simplicity from complexity. Jeff Gallimore has learned many of these rules over his career and has applied them to his work to help him and his teams get things done. Hear about the rules and how they've been applied in real-life project management situations.

Jeff Gallimore is a co-founder and partner at Excella Consulting, an information technology consulting firm. He is an information technology professional with a wealth of consulting experience, including strategy, architecture, program management, and systems development using various technologies and methodologies. He works with clients in the financial services, telecommunications, Internet, government, and manufacturing sectors. As a strategic advisor to clients, he provides guidance on vision and direction for high profile, complex programs.

Prior to co-founding Excella, Jeff served as the Director of Technology Strategy and member of the executive team of the DC office of Idea Integration.
