Description:
Dracaena draco, commonly known as the Dragon Tree, is a striking evergreen tree known for its sculptural form and distinctive architectural presence. This slow-growing plant develops a thick, stout trunk and a broad, umbrella-like canopy of sword-shaped, bluish-green leaves. Native to the Canary Islands, it is well-suited to Mediterranean-style gardens and makes an excellent feature plant in dry, low-maintenance landscapes. Its unique appearance and drought tolerance make it highly valued in both residential and public spaces.

Flowers:
Dracaena draco produces small, fragrant greenish-white flowers during the summer, typically in clusters at the branch tips. These flowers are not its main ornamental feature, but they attract pollinators such as bees. Older trees (10 years or more) are more likely to flower.

Foliage:
The long, stiff, sword-like leaves are bluish-green, radiating from the top of the trunk and forming dense rosettes. These leaves can reach up to 60 cm in length and contribute to the dramatic appearance of the tree. The foliage grows in dense, circular clusters, creating an eye-catching canopy.

Fruit:
After flowering, small, round, orange-red berries appear, adding seasonal interest. These fruits are generally not a major feature of the tree but do offer an additional visual element in late summer to autumn.

Form and Size:
Dracaena draco has a distinctive form, with a single thick trunk that branches as it matures, creating a multi-branched, umbrella-like silhouette. In ideal conditions, this tree can reach heights of 6-10 meters, with a similar spread. Its slow-growing nature makes it ideal for gardens where space is limited, but its eventual size makes it a stunning focal point.

Growing Conditions:
Thrives in full sun and requires well-drained soil. Dracaena draco is highly drought-tolerant once established and can withstand poor, rocky soils, making it perfect for arid or coastal gardens. It is frost-sensitive, so some protection may be needed in colder climates. It is highly tolerant of salt-laden winds, making it a great choice for coastal regions.

Uses:
The Dragon Tree makes a bold architectural statement as a specimen tree in gardens, courtyards, or large containers. It is ideal for xeriscaping and water-wise gardens, blending well with Mediterranean and desert-themed landscapes. Its unique silhouette also makes it a striking choice for modern or minimalist garden designs.

Maintenance:
Low-maintenance and drought-tolerant, this tree requires little care once established. Pruning is not typically needed, but any damaged or dead leaves can be removed to maintain a clean appearance. Water deeply during extended dry periods, especially when young, to encourage root establishment.

Notes:
Dracaena draco is highly valued not only for its ornamental qualities but also for the sap it produces, known as "dragon's blood," historically used for medicinal and dye purposes. Its slow growth and long lifespan make it a durable and reliable feature in any garden.

Companion Plants:
Pairs well with other drought-tolerant plants such as Agave, Aloe, and Echeveria. It also contrasts beautifully with ornamental grasses and succulents like Sedum or Senecio.

One of the best Project Management Books I've Read!
Format: Kindle
This was a really great read for many reasons. The focus on ensuring your project has a strategic purpose is so important these days, where Program and Project Managers need to make sure the projects they are leading are providing value to the organization. The framework is one that can be applied immediately with the explanation and tools provided in the book and on the author's website. The real-life stories and projects were not only fun to read, but very helpful in understanding how to apply the framework. The examples were very thorough and helpful. There is great information on what is needed from a PM to be successful including managing the team and stakeholders. On top of all that, when I got to Chapter 10 it was like a bonus chapter for me. Chapter 10's focus is on "managing your inner game", and has great information on ensuring you have the right mindset to be successful. Project Managers have the opportunity (and challenge) to work with many different personalities and in many challenging environments. This chapter provides really great information on how to navigate those waters and be successful. Chapter 10 could seriously be a book in itself. Chapter 12 was yet another bonus chapter, especially for lifelong learners. It's all about the idea of taking everything we've learned and applying it to our life. As the author states, our lives are essentially a project. Why not apply the same principles to ensure we are achieving our purpose and providing value, with yet again, really great examples to get us started. Anyone who leads or is involved in any kind of projects or who wants to work better in a team environment would benefit from reading this book.

Strategic Management Made Simple and Effective
Format: Hardcover
I told Terry Schmidt that would be a better title for his book, “Strategic Management Made Simple and Effective”. The time-tested Logical Framework Approach (LFA) that Terry champions goes far beyond project management. With its exploratory LogFrame matrix leading from inputs to outcomes, outcomes to purpose, and purpose to goal, the LFA forces you to understand the reason for the project. Projects are not executed for their own reason but to achieve something specific. The LogFrame traverses the ladder from inputs to goal through objectives with success measures, ways to verify success, and assumptions that must hold true be successful. Terry adds his own concept -- that he calls the Implementation Equation™ -- to help you build the LogFrame: IF inputs AND valid assumptions, THEN outcomes / IF outcomes AND valid assumptions, THEN purpose / IF purpose AND valid assumptions, THEN goal. This methodology offers you a way to view the LogFrame with multiple perspectives: scientific method, strategic planning, project management, risk management, management by objectives, and, although he does not mention it, also quality management. In particular, his use of assumptions has helped me to redefine my view of risk management. Rather than brainstorm a large list of possible risks in a registry that becomes impossible to manage, I use the probability that the assumptions needed for success are not valid – and their impact on achieving success, as the true risks that must be actively managed. A highly entertaining as well as informative book, “Strategic Project Management Made Simple”, or whatever you choose to call it, should be the first guide you reach for when building a portfolio, creating programs or products, or starting a project.

LFA is now the Project Manager's Super-Power!
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
This books is not just for PMs, it is also for people in operations that are facing the challenge of aligning the output of their day-to-day activities and multiple projects with the bigger picture of their enterprise. Personally, what I liked the most (and which it has been very helpful) is the visualization and alignment of the strategy with the operational side of the business: Logical Framework Approach (LFA) -- I call LFA my hidden super-power! Strategy is an abstract concept and often difficult to communicate to those responsible for the execution of the projects. Terry made this task very simple by addressing the most important aspect of any project: What are we trying to accomplish and Why?

Enlightening and practical
Format: Hardcover
(Review by Scott Miller) I met the author at the PMI Global Summit 2022 and became intrigued with his background and approach. In buying the book, I found it enlightening and practical, for both my work and myself. This is an easy read and is structured in a way to allow me to easily refer to and use the tools it highlights. I encourage anyone interested in project management to buy this book and give it a read...and keep it as a reference for your career! Great work Terry!
