July 2, 2010 | John Rusk I’ll be speaking at the New Zealand Computer Society’s 50th Anniversary Conference, on the topic of Earned Value Management. I’m looking forward to being part of an interesting conference, and hopefully helping to lift the profile of EVM in New Zealand. Link to presentation abstract ( The abstract’s reference to “Number 8 wire” may be unclear to overseas readers 🙂  The phrase simply means “New Zealand ingenuity”, in this part of the world.)
