Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 248 – The New PMP® Exam: Reflecting a Changing Profession
Q: How has the exam structure changed in terms of duration and number of questions?
The exam has increased to four hours, with 180 scored questions and 10 pretest questions that don't count toward the score, along with two 10-minute breaks that are outside the time limit.
Episode 247 – Protecting New Zealand’s Wildlife: Leading a Multi-Decade, High-Stakes Project
Q: What is Predator Free 2050 and why is it achievable?
Brent explains that the goal is to eradicate key invasive predators (rats, feral cats, possums, mustelids) across New Zealand, a bold and challenging target that becomes more plausible when viewed in 10-year increments and supported by decades of conservation experience, testing, and phased rollout.
Episode 244 – Post-Quantum Cryptography: Leading Projects When Technology Shifts
Q: What practical steps should an enterprise take today to begin migrating to PQC?
Begin with a cryptographic inventory to map what you currently use, assess the highest-risk systems, evaluate third-party dependencies, and pursue a staged, hybrid migration that maintains cryptographic agility and allows for continuous adaptation as standards evolve.
Episode 244 – Post-Quantum Cryptography: Leading Projects When Technology Shifts
Q: Can you basically give us a definition of post-quantum cryptography and how its algorithms differ from today's encryption?
PQC is cryptography designed to be secure against both classical and quantum attacks, with approaches like lattice-based methods that are hard for both classical and quantum computers to reverse engineer. It's not a simple software upgrade but a fundamental shift in how encryption is designed and implemented.
Episode 242 – When Lean Meets “Chunky”: Project Leadership in Big Enterprises
Q: What's the first thing that a project manager should do before they kick off a re-platforming effort?
Get the data out of your legacy systems first, clean it up, and organize it before building new software around it.
