Interview with Chuck Pearson, CEO of Projecturf

September 28, 2009

Last week I reviewed Projecturf. It’s a relative newcomer to the project management tool-place, so I decided to talk to Chuck Pearson, CEO of Projecturf. He’s a man with big plans, and he’s no fan of Basecamp or Microsoft Project… Projecturf was first launched in March of 2008, but was in beta for a year [...]

Save time: tidy your desk!

September 23, 2009

This entry is part 10 of 13 in the series Office Goddess

Yesterday I had a clear out at work and took home three pairs of shoes that were in my office drawer and tucked under my desk. After all, it’s practically winter now and those strappy linen heels are not going to cut it in the persistent rain. It got me thinking about tidying up in [...]

Review: Projecturf

September 21, 2009

Today I’ve been oven drying some of my huge haul of cherry tomatoes, so that I can store them in olive oil and keep them a bit longer. Honestly, I am fed up with fresh tomato salads, and there are still lots to pick, if they ever turn red. Otherwise I will be getting out [...]

Even on holiday…

Admittedly, I don’t wear my ‘project management clothes’ out in public very often, but this Projects@Work T-shirt, illustrating the triple constraint, was fine for hanging around the hotel.

Review: Severa 3

September 14, 2009

Why is registering for anything so complicated? The ‘State’ field is not marked as compulsory when signing up for an account with Severa. Except my registration would not be accepted without one. So it is compulsory, then. Having said that there is no validation, as I just typed ‘State’ and I was in. The sign [...]

Noticed anything?

September 12, 2009

This site has been ad-free for nearly 4 years, but now I’m playing with advertising. I hope you won’t find it intrusive, and I certainly don’t plan on having adverts pop up all over the place. However, I hope you’ll realise that it’s one way to control costs and enable me to bring you more [...]

Welcome to the August/September 2009 edition of carnival of project management. It actually wasn’t too hard this time to whittle out the irrelevant entries. Maybe BlogCarnival is cracking down on automated submissions. I have selected the following for your entertainment: CA presents How to prepare for the PMP certification exam posted at Atlantic Canada’s Small [...]

TrackerSuite.Net: now with widgets

September 10, 2009

With all the modern technology available to these companies you would have thought they would have come up with a way to show me software without making me call the US for 46 minutes. I wouldn’t have minded so much if it wasn’t for the fact I could have got a good overview of the [...]
