Maybe naively I was hoping that the topic being about achievement and celebration would speak to project managers interested in personal development. Perhaps though posts touch the people who are interested in what you're doing; friends, followers with common interests! (Yes some project managers!)
To reach out to the aspiring project managers tribe and sync with their mood, I may need to be clearer about my own project management issues! E.g. I've possibly been taking too much of an Agile approach recently, to meet the needs of many project stakeholders!

The DPMB discussion on 20Nov similarly suggested that business contracts which get down into features can clamp the Agile process to illuminate the best ultimate outcome!
