At the Remote Worker Awards

September 2, 2010

Last night I spent the evening at the Remote Worker Awards which was held at The Grand Connaught Rooms in London.

I met some really interesting people including the CEO of YuuGuu, [...]

A glossary of terms

June 9, 2008

I came across this recently. If you are new to project management you might find it interesting. It’s TechRepublic’s glosssary of PM terms, which you can use as a starting point for getting to grips with a whole new language. It’s not complete but it’s a useful springboard.

Book review: Fun Works

It’s the time of year to prepare for annual performance appraisals. I did some research for Projects@Work recently, and wrote an article for them about how project managers could best arm themselves for the dreaded one-to-one with their line manager.
