    Great article and how very true that traditional is going to have to be overhauled.
  •  
    I found the five trends really interesting as they fly in the face of what we've been doing in this class. I think that everything we learned has value but with such drastic changes and approaches taking place it makes you wonder if the focus we've been on is in the wrong areas?? Anyway, I also came across this for Top 10 Trends in PM for 2013 which is similar in some ways: http://www.itbusinessedge.com/slideshows/top-10-trends-in-project-management-for-2013.html

The Project Manager vs. the Business Analyst - 0 views

  •  
    I have a hard time deciding whether "versus" is a good word to compare the two roles. On one hand, the project manager and business analyst should be working collaboratively. On the other hand, the two roles do offer a healthy contest in project related decisions.

SPRINGLOOPS - 1 views

    This app looks very interesting for a group project similar to the one we are developing in our course. According to the description it is a browser that integrates project management. Springloop has a intuitive and user friendly interface, base-camp feature, and templates available for creating new projects. It has a free plan as well as paid plans that include a free 30-day trial.

    Rosanna, this is a very helpful resource. I am so dependent on wordpress or dynamod for web development, but I would love to go to the next level for some projects and this seems like a good place to start. I really like the rocket ship theme, too!

    This is a great article which talks about teaching project management to kids along with project based learning.

4 tech tips for eLearning Managers - 0 views

  •  
    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.

Zoho Projects - 1 views

  •  
    This is a web based project management tool that functions similarly to Smartsheet. There are a lot of bells and whistles, and it seems to be priced affordably starting at $20 a month. You can then pick and choose add on features for nominal pricing - choosing what you want and not having to pay for features you may not use. Managers can list milestones, tasks, subtasks, generate Gantt charts and resource charts, communicate using wikis, chats and forums and collaborate with others synchronously or asynchronously. Another neat feature is this cloud hosted technology integrates with Googledocs, Google calendar and gmail. This tool seems intuitive and offers many features worthy of looking into.
