There
are many areas in education and instructional design in which I feel very
comfy. Project management, and
specifically the territory we are entering now (schedules and budgets) is like
learning a new a new language for me.
From the start, this class has been intimidating. Though I am getting more comfortable with the
language and the thinking process, it has been a struggle. Therefore, in my search for this blog
assignment, I looked for web sites that cast a wide net when it comes to
project management. The two web sites
below are sites that allow one who is new to project management to gain insight
in a variety of project management topics and resources.
The
title of this web site pretty much tells the story. It is a web site that covers the basic topics
of project management, and breaks down each into various resources and sub
topics. There are also links to
scheduling and budgeting tools that could prove to be very useful for a novice
project manager.
This web site is also a jack-of-all-trades web site
for project managers. Though it does
cover various PM topics, it focuses on articles written by project manager
experts. Though some of the articles are
far beyond the scope of my knowledge and experience, I did find some articles
and ideas that are more in tune with where I am as a project manager.
Great links! Do you find it easy or difficult to estimate cost for projects? Do you have experience with project management where you need to estimate hours and cost of resources?
ReplyDeleteGbro,
ReplyDeleteI checked out the Project Connections site and I wanted to say thank you for the link. Just the Blogs and Resources links alone on that site are enough to keep me coming back.
What was the most useful part of that site for you?
