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?

Templates and guides that accompany W. Horton's book.

There is a lot of good information here. Some of it is old. In some cases, that may matter and in other cases, it may not. I downloaded a couple of things. I hope he does some updates.

This site is a central resource for people learning and using MS Project. You can access demos, find training, and explore helpful "Tips & Tricks" (e.g., "Make Smart Scheduling Decisions with Task Inspector").

This site does a good job of reviewing major aspects discussed throughout this course. Oh, and you can catch up on your tarot stuff. :)

This is an online scrum project management tool for teams to manage agile projects. Features interactive task board, free download for up to 5 users, an iphone app that gives portability to your scrum management, live help chat and a resourceful blog. If you are a scrum manager, this tool is worth checking out due to its portability and support features.

This tool seems very helpful. Thank you for sharing it. I really like that it has an iphone app that seems to be a key factor in these newer tools. I think that the live chat and blog is something unique about the tools as well, so thank you for pointing those features out as well.

Great looking tool, and moderately-priced for small businesses. I'd like to learn more about SCRUM! and besides that, it's just a cool term!

another blog that has all sorts of elearning topics, but also some wrting about project management. I especially enjoyed the post, "Top 10 ways to Annoy a Project Manager".

This looks like a great resource/site. Like you said, there are several interesting looking e-learning topics that are worth checking out. The "Top 10" you mention is a funny, but informative article - i especially liked number 10, which is "Forgetting to thank me when I help you out" :) I also noticed there is a workshop available for this topic, although pricey - if you have the money to burn it could be worth it! Thanks for posting this.

This is a cool trimmed down list of great project management tips. It's broken down into sections including, Five Ways to Avoid Project Disaster.

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.

Here is the Excel spreadsheet that goes with the guide. Another great resource tool.

Wow, this is a very detailed project management spreadsheet! This looks like a very good point of reference for further developing a WBS. Thanks for sharing.

In researching effective communication for project managers, my team determined that quality communication is a critical component. We reference the book "Effective Business Communications" by Herta Murphy, Herbert Hildebrandt and Jane Thomas. This eHow article summarizes the author's "seven c's" of effective communication directly from the book. These communication skills, both oral and written, are the foundation for helping you express yourself clearly and correctly.
