Carnival of project management #20

Welcome to the May 26, 2008 edition of carnival of project management. Thirty-one entries this month, so here is what made the cut:

lazymale presents “5 common scheduling mistakes” posted at lap31 “are you ready to lead?”.

Rich Maltzman, PMP presents Project Managers: Don’t Get the Point! posted at Scope crêpe, saying, “Don’t get the point!” Read the article – it will make sense.

GreatManagement presents The Managers Most Useful Tool posted at The GreatManagement Blog, saying, “You can tell a lot about someone through their shoes.” You certainly can. You can also tell a lot about someone by how many pairs of shoes she has at work (for me, currently, just the two pairs).

Jay Gordon Cone presents Just Released: Little Book of Big Change posted at Interaction Associates – Thought leadership and practical tools for collaboration., saying, “Patty McManus’ “Little Book of Big Change” attends to the people side of large scale change projects. Download it free.” I haven’t read the book yet, but the title is compelling.

TerryT2 presents Negotiation Tactics and Tricks posted at Actual Real Estate Profits, saying, “Project management involves dealing with people which means negotiating. This post describes a number of negotiating tricks and tactics as well as their counters.”

Bas presents Why Soft Skills Are Essential To Project Managers posted at Project Shrink: The Blog.

John Gough presents Project Management: Just a Web of Promises posted at iJournal, saying, “Hi Elizabeth. My latest blog about Gordon Brown and the Digital Age, was fun but not really project management-y enough, so I have submited one from earlier in the month. Hope it is OK!”

Craig Borysowich presents Controlling Change posted at Tech Architect.

CMOE presents Establishing Accountability Through Effective Leadership posted at Teamwork.

Erek Ostrowski presents Leadership for Unprecedented Results posted at
Verve Coaching, saying, “As leaders, our job is to provide an environment that challenges people with opportunities to be productive and capable, so that they succeed in their jobs and produce results.”

And here are two posts about delegating:

Michael Walsh presents Trouble Delegating? Let Go in Order To Grow posted at Business Growth, saying, “In order to help you manage stress and say sane, you will need to learn the art of effective delegation.”

Shawn Driscoll presents Too much on your plate? Become a STAR Delegator posted at Shawn Driscoll.

That’s the end of this edition. Past posts and future hosts can be found on our
