    This is very similar to Trello and is a web app. It allows a PM or project staff to track requirements, meetings, commitments, new ideas, etc. Acceptable for the Agile methodology and also has reporting features.

    Project Management Techniques by Dick Billows - podcasts - for those of us who prefer a more auditory learning style, or who want to learn something while working out or driving. Some do include video, though. These podcasts contain all the basics and some additional perspectives and techniques to aid effectiveness.

    This includes some tools that may be useful when planning and working on projects. Many of these coincide nicely with the things we have been learning about in class.

    Great find on free PM tools. I have heard that the open source project tools are really good and best of all....free! I also like the graphic depicting the project phases.
  • Jaime Clark on 12 Apr 13
     
    I like this - very helpful. I'm visual, so the graphics help. Thanks for sharing!

    Asana is the shared task list for your team. The place to plan, organize & stay in sync. Free for up to 30 team menbers.

    This looks like a great way to keep a project team organized and informed. The tutorial was helpful and gave a nice overview of the system. Free is also a wonderful feature!

    For a simple, light Project Management tool, Asana worked great to keep a list of tasks and when they were completed.

    This is a nice simple overview on how to set up your WBS. The narrator also has a lovely British accent which makes it a little more fun.

    That was a great way of explaining the WBS and demonstrated what should be included in the WBS thanks for sharing this.
  • Allan Rotgers on 12 Apr 13
     
    Another good addition here. I learned a few new things about creating a WBS, such as using SMEs to decompose work below the package level.

    Good article, I heard of four of the styles but 2 were new to me. Affiliative and pacesetting were interesting. I like the affililiative as they are team focused and work to lead a cohesive unit. I didn't care for the pacesetting but do see how in some situation they can be useful like with government regulations. Thanks for sharing the article.

    Interesting article, I learned something new in the section releasing the benefits. Specifically, "to gain benefits, you must have change." I know some can be afraid of change but then how does a company grow. Change needs to occur to have everything stay current and up-to date. thanks
  • desireepina on 13 Jul 13
     
    This was a great article since it appealed to all skill levels. Whether new to project management or a "seasoned" professional these tips could apply to all. I also like how it was broken down into 21 ways so you could pick one topic and work on that and then move on to the next if need be. A great way to gradually build better PM skills.

    D-cube! Design, Develop, Deploy. I like this simplified version of ADDIE. It fits with rapid design and since the only way we know if a product works is to test it, then you might as well get it out the door and get some feedback which you can then feed into the iterative process of making it better.

    Good article on what can cause stress, the biological and mental aspect of stress and some quick tips you can use anywhere. So many of us rely on caffeine drinks to keep up going it is scary what the long term effects can be. A good smoothie can probably do better and is better for you. Dabbled around the site a bit and found out these guys are from Canada, my home country!
  • Jaime Clark on 12 Apr 13
     
    Right. Stress. I think this is one I should post hard-copy to the wall, ha. I might consider cutting back on caffeine and taking a deep breath more often. Thanks for a smart addition to the PM list :)
  • Shana Schwarz on 12 Apr 13
     
    Jaime- I am on day 2 of no caffeine and I already feel SO much calmer. I'm craving it really badly, but I was so jittery lately and I know it was stressing me out more. A good reminder on keeping stress under control. Thanks Allan!

    I like the recommendations for stress reduction. A few people at my work actually requested that the company create a quiet relaxation room. Not sure if they'll do it, but I hope so. I got into breathing meditation years ago and it pretty much cured me of anxiety attacks that had persisted from my late 20's to early 30's. A couple years of daily practice and they haven't returned for almost 10 years. I don't keep up with the meditation anymore, but I'd say any amount of practice can affect long-term benefits.

    Free templates for all stages of Project Management. Great simple explanations of terminology and descriptions of what should go in each section of templates that are available. Not only are there documents you would expect such as Project Initiation Documents and Work Breakdown Schedule documents, but also Project Meeting Agenda and Minute templates. When you don't know where to start with compiling PM documents, this site offers some easy to use options.

    Wow - it sure does! I would need some good starter points to develop professional reports that also ensure I'm including all necessary elements.
  • Laura Hein on 09 Apr 13
     
    The templates look like they are really easy to use, at least the ones that I played with did. I thought that it was really interesting that they did their WBS in Microsoft Word. I had contemplated doing that for our project plan but I decided that it would be more trouble than it was worth. The template makes it really easy.
  • Allan Rotgers on 12 Apr 13
     
    Great resource! I appreciated that not only templates were included, but also lots of related information about "why and how would I use this."
  • Margo Bedford on 13 Apr 13
     
    Giselle, this is a great find! I can't believe these templates are free.

    Project managing e-learning. More is worse! This blog outlines some of the pitfalls that developing E-learning shares with traditional project management as well as some challenges unique to these types of projects. Some solutions are also suggested, mostly dealing with keeping your project plan agile and iterative.

    Thanks for posting this article, Brook. Because it talks about elearning being software (tech) development and content development at the same time, it applies to my case study...and because it talks about training struggles, it is reflective of my own work environment too.
  • Edwin Hurley on 19 Feb 12
     
    This article brings up some valid points that I wish I had read a year or so ago. Originally I thought eLearning was simple converting F2F material for an online environment. At its basic concept it is, but the complexity of this process is much more complicated and resource intensive than I imagined. Those considering the jump from F2F should seriously consider the points of this article and the affect on their organization resources. Thanks for the info.

    I understand this class is about project management, but after interviewing our product manager I realized I had misunderstood the difference between the two and how they worked together. Many times though I think both jobs are combined, due to lack of personnel.
