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.

Noticed anything?

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 quality [...]

Blog downtime

Posted on July 9th, 2009 by by Elizabeth

If you tried to access A Girl’s Guide to Project Management last night/this morning (depending on where in the world you are) it might not have been here.

Spring break!

It’s Easter, so I’m taking a two-week break from blogging to catch up, spring clean, go to weddings and eat chocolate.
A Girl’s Guide to Project Management will be back on 27 April with a review of Sharepoint for Project Management (thanks Alec for reminding me that I hadn’t got round to posting it yet) and [...]

Posted on February 17th, 2009 by by Elizabeth

I’ve not taken the step to Twitter yet, but I’m thinking about doing it.  Is it seriously worth it?  Advice welcome from people who tweet already!
In a bid to make it easier for you guys, I’ve added a Share This link to posts, so you can save, share, email and bookmark anything that takes your [...]

Redesign in progress!

Posted on January 11th, 2009 by by Elizabeth

Apologies if you are browsing here this weekend. The site looks awful – especially if you are looking at it in Internet Explorer.
Please bear with me while I finish the design modifications, then I’ll tell you what I’ve done!

New Year’s resolutions…

Posted on January 5th, 2009 by by Elizabeth

I don’t make New Year’s resolutions.  There isn’t any point, as I know I am going to break them.  I have always said that if I’m tempted to make a resolution I’ll live with the idea through January and then make the resolution in February.  I never get as far as making resolutions in February, [...]
