Bonnie Biafore has always been good at getting things done, but a few decades passed before she realized that she was “managing projects.” She earned her PMP and has run her own company, MonteVista Solutions, offering project management and consulting services to clients in a variety of industries for the last 14 years.

On a parallel course, writing and ferocious editing have been a lifelong habit. She’s written award-winning books about project management, investing, personal finance, and several commercial software programs (Microsoft Project, Quicken, QuickBooks, and Visio). Bonnie also writes the Project Certification Insider column for the Microsoft Project User Group (MPUG).

When she isn’t meeting deadlines, she walks her Bernese mountain dogs, cooks gourmet meals, or hikes in the nearby mountains. You can learn more about Bonnie and her books at her website, www.bonniebiafore.com.
