A very flexible Project Management system. Podio allows you to add your projects and include individual deliverables, tasks, deadlines, Project Manager's, and comment on projects as they are completed. It also allows you to chat with other team members and provide access to clients so they can always see the progress of the project. Google Docs and other collaborative services can also be connected.

Thanks, JP - I've used Articulate's forums for developers to find answers to specific issues, but didn't realize they had extended into this topic - very helpful - I plan to do some digging soon!

Lou Russel frequently contributes to ASTD and has a book called Project Management for Trainers. This links to the resources available on her website.

I recently attended a two-day ASTD certificate course she did in conjunction with the TechKnowledge conference in Las Vegas. It was informative and she has a unique approach that really presented some of the concepts in a straight-forward manner/ Of course, in two days you can only dig so deep but I would recommend the course for those new to project management.

I love these guys... always simple and straight forward. For me this is a bit of a reality check. When things get a little too heavy and a little too complex, it's good to focus on the basics.

Tom Kuhlmann's advice is always practical when it comes to eLearning design and I see his advice about project management is no different. I found his advice to not view the things he discusses as a linear progression but as a set of activities that need to be done to get through a project.

I like something that is so practical and simple. Good advice we all need to keep in mind and in an easy-to-read format.

A useful article providing some tips on using technology to assist eLearning project management.

I found this to be an interesting article because it's from Kineo. In my first semester in this ILT program, my first group and I presented on Kineo eXe, an eLearning authoring tool. The article talks about the use of MS Project, a timesheet system, a bug database, and a collaborative tool. All of these are needed to manage an eLearning project. There are tools that offer more than one of these options, such as SharePoint as a collaboration tool and bug database, but with a cost. The article lists other options as well and I'd like to investigate the tools listed there more to see if there are free options.

A quick video about one successful e-learning project management approach. She includes a section for story-boarding in her process, which I think is a really cool creative step between instructional design and production.

This was a great video you found Brook. I enjoyed the quality of the production, but I also think it did a great job of summarizing the total process. It actually cleared up a couple misconception I had with the process. Thanks for the post.

Nice find Brook! Nice summary and good points to think about. Thanks for the post.

This is a website dedicated to Project Management comics. These are good for a few laughs but they also put some of what we've been reading about into story-boarded scenarios. I think those without any project management experience will find it helpful in adding some context to our readings.

A blog outlining the top 10 free online project management software, because we can't all buy MS Project. This blog provides a brief overview of each software as well as links to the full site.

I'ts great to have all of these in one place. It allows you to compare them together. Two I have looked at for use in Education are ZOHO and Huddle.

Great add Brook! I came across this article when I was searching for a PM tool for our office. I've tried Basecamp before and I like how intuitive it is. Have you tried any of the other ones?

A blog analyzing how Enterprise 2.0 technologies influence project management.

Provides resources discussing the differences between project and product management and their over lapping roles.

Thanks, Edwin. I will use the information from this site for my case study because one of the points in the study was that the product owner was doing much more than the role of product owner.

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.
