With the economy being as it is, there are plenty of people job hunting at the moment, although project management roles are not being hit as hard as other sectors.  Still, if you are in the market for a new role, project-management-jobs.info may help.  Lonnie Pacelli has started a site to bring together resources for [...]

Wiki ahoy!

Posted on January 14th, 2009 by by Elizabeth

The ICPM is starting a wiki for project management and I’m surprised at the information that is already on there, given they haven’t had it up and running for very long.  If you’d like to contribute, it’s easy.  Go to the Table of Contents, find a page that you have something to say about and [...]

Site updates

Posted on September 21st, 2008 by by Elizabeth

I have now enabled this site to work with gravatars, so if you post a comment your image will appear.  I’ve also re-structured some of the categories, splitting out book and software reviews and adding a new ‘events’ category for things that don’t fall neatly into ‘networking’ or ‘conferences’.
I’ve also added PM Majik to the [...]

New Knowledge Base tool

Posted on March 24th, 2008 by by Elizabeth

Knowledge Base from The Projects Group (TPG) has been up and running for a month now and it is a very impressive tool. It works a lot like the project management search engine on PMConnection. However, PMConnection’s search is Google-based and will search websites and blogs. Knowledge Base draws on different information, [...]

pm411: the name explained

Posted on March 12th, 2008 by by Elizabeth

Ron Holohan from the pm411.org podcast has emailed me to explain where the name comes from:
“Ah the name… Unfortunately, it may have been a poor choice outside of the US and Canada, but for decades, most of the United States and Canada has used *4-1-1* as the telephone number for local directory assistance. [...]
