    That was good to see the part about calculating the costs of the Risks. It seems like many times budgets are created for 'clear day' situations.
  •  
    Hi Peggy. Sorry I didn't know about this link before I began the Cost Analysis for our team project. Thanks for the information.
  •  
    It's so true that not all costs can be measured in dollars.

4 Tips for Working With SMEs - 0 views

  •  
    No matter how great we are at creating learning solutions, we will not even get off the ground without the right content and context. Sometimes, working with SMEs can be one of the most difficult parts of the process. This article provides four great suggestions for how to effectively work with your SME.

    Great article and tips!
  •  
    I really enjoyed this read! Great information on communicating with SMEs and how to keep moving.
  •  
    The "Help them take a step back" bullet is an excellent point. A lot of times, SMEs try to put EVERYTHING about a topic in a training and if you tell them everything, they remember nothing. I use Action Mapping to keep SME's (and me) focused on what content should be taught. Great article!
  •  
    I like #2. So many times SMEs loose sight of the project objective. :-)
  •  
    Jenna, these guidelines are simple but powerful. What of the greatest challenges I had on a recent project was to get the SME to back off and take care of the content, not the learning materials. I never really succeeded but it might have helped if I had the #4 guideline instilled in our heads early in the project.

Excel Project Management - Free Templates, Resources & Information - 2 views

  •  
    This site is tremendous for doing a lot of very cool things in Excel. Any time I have a new project, I always check in here to see if there is anything that can help me get my information into a eye catching and user friendly format.
  •  
    Nice - thanks! Looks like this has tons of useful information for a huge number of things. And I'm psyched if a product I already have and know how to use can also address project management needs pretty well...
  •  
    John, I have been dissatisfied until now about what Excel templates I could find for Project Management. This site really fills in the blanks for me. I know Excel extremely well but still found this quite useful!

Project Management Methodologies - 0 views

  •  
    Introduction: In order to achieve goals and planned results within a defined schedule and a budget, a manager uses a project. Regardless of which field or which trade, there are assortments of methodologies to help managers at every stage of a project from the initiation to implementation to the closure.
  •  
    Thanks for posting - it is nice to see a list like this of many of the competing methodologies out there. My interviewee told me that the most important thing prospective PMs can do is learn as many methods as possible as well as possible, because in reality, you need to mix and match them depending on what your project requires, and the more you know, the more you can adapt.

Helping Your People Develop Emotional Intelligence - 0 views

  •  
    Here is a nice article on emotional intelligent. I like the topic very much.
  •  
    Peggy, this is a great article and definitely something I can use in my workplace. I think acknowledging how teams deal with and use EI is great in helping create strong interpersonal relationships. Thank you for sharing!
  •  
    I appreciate this too. One of the things I was curious about after our EI discussions was how best to share knowledge of EI, self-awareness and empathetic communication with team members. It seems to me that rather than just using the techniques we have learned ourselves, we should share them with others as well, so that they understand the approach and the improved empathy is able to move both ways. So this is great to have some advice about that specifically.
