Debra Fine - The Art of Talk - 0 views

  •  
    I'm posting this link to Debra Fine's website. I've read two of her books: "The Fine Art of Small Talk" and "The Fine Art of the Big Talk." While they're not directly about project management, they do relate to the ability to communicate and build relationships both personally and professionally. The content of these two books has helped me build rapport and relationships with teams and stakeholders, open discussions about sensitive topics and project difficulties, and improve my ability to get what I want out of conversations big and small. I would recommend these books to any PM looking to get better at communicating.
  •  
    Debra, that book sounds very useful to integrate EQ with the PM experience.

Ensuring eLearning Success: Six Simple Tips for Initiative Leaders - 0 views

  •  
    This article is relatively old (2002). Nonetheless, it contains timeless tips to ensure eLearning success, particularly with regard to managing stakeholder expectations. -Duncan McBogg Abstract: Leading a major e-learning or blended learning initiative is a relatively new, complex and high-stakes challenge. Success depends on a variety of factors, not the least of which is the project leader's ability to manage threats in the form of miscommunication among key constituents, excessive rework, missed milestones, cost overruns, poor quality deliverables, etc. To help ensure the success of your organization's learning initiatives, consider how you might apply these proven tips:

Project Planning: Fuzziness=Failure - 6 views

  •  
    Harvard Business "Working Knowledge" archive article that I found very helpful, regarding the need for clarity when starting projects
  • ...1 more comment...
  •  
    Great explanation as to why you need input from key stakeholders in developing the plan.
  •  
    In the article it mentions the concept of "Work Backwards." In education, when planning, it is called "Backwards Design," beginning your plan at where you want to end up, which is usually the the state standard of learning.
  •  
    Build the community: I couldn't agree more that the initial relationship building in a project is key component for success later.

The Project Management Podcast - 0 views

  •  
    I subscribed to this podcast (it has a free option) I liked because it is short (each episode is around 30 min long) and gets directly to the point, so it helps me to understand better some concepts we discuss in our class. I listened to the interview in the Episode 266: PMO and Capitalizing on Diversity (Free) This one gave me a perspective about how to integrate diversity in PM. The other episode I listened was Episode 261: How to Identify Project Stakeholders (Free) , so I learned a little more about this confusing topic for me. I also enjoyed the British accent; I finally can catch what they are saying! I think my English skills are improving: double check!

Poll Everywhere - 1 views

  •  
    Audience response system that uses mobile phones, twitter, and the web. Responses are displayed in real-time on gorgeous charts in PowerPoint, Keynote, or web browser. I saw this in a professional development course I was in this summer. I think it could be a useful way to engage people in the process --- especially if you are working virtually and are on a webinar. Results show almost instantly.
  •  
    That's very cool Jean. Of course, my immediate thought is to use it in the classroom. However, I could see a project manager using Poll Everywhere to poll a team for feedback.

Project Management for Instructional Designers - 6 views

  •  
    Great SlideShare presentation given by Kim Mckee and Kimberly Klotz at the Teaching with Technology Conference at UAMS in July 2013. Includes Project Management phases as it relates to the ADDIE Model.
  •  
    Clear and easy to understand. One item that stood out is the 'goals are defined by stakeholders'. When goals/definitions are clear from the beginning then it is easier to mover forward.

Basecamp - 0 views

  •  
    Trusted by millions, Basecamp is the leading web-based project management and collaboration tool. To-dos, files, messages, schedules, and milestones.
  •  
    Reminds me of just a plain old free wiki like the PB wiki. It would be interesting to test some of these products to see what stands out as really useful, and what doesn't seem worth the time or money...
  •  
    This is a great project management tool that helps you stay connected with all involved in your project. This tool provides a way to keep stakeholders updated, share documents and timelines, and get instant feedback.
