Thanks, Om and Cully. I just happened to come across this site. Seems quite interesting. Will spend some time exploring it in the following days.

To complement your article, I suggest the post, How to Become a PMP in 6 Steps:

Comment on Project Management – It’s All in The Process by Cully Perlman

Josh,

Thank you for your comment. Buy-in is absolutely crucial to implementing the PM consultant’s ideas. Without buy-in the processes presented by the consultant will be ignored as soon as the consultant is gone–or, worse, while they’re still in the process of helping the organization. I agree completely.

Thanks again,

Cully

Another huge thing that an outside project management consultant can provide is a customized methodology that works for your organization, and is repeatable for all projects. Walking a team through a methodology and refining it as you go can be extremely valuable for conforming it to the culture and ensure usability and buy-in. One thing external consultants can run into is the "we didn't make it here" factor. To me, it's critical that the consultant not dictate processes, but instead help the teams formulate their own. It may be that the consultant presents several ways to approach an issue and leaves it up to the organization to choose which provides the best starting point to start the customization process from.

Obviously there is much more to social media, but this is more of an intro for those who aren’t as educated on the subject matter. If you have more to contribute, please do so.

Eric,

Thanks for the post, and the link. There are some very good–and true–details in the link you posted. One of the main hurdles I’ve had to go through as a PM is under the “There is a gap between e-mail and project management software that made project management software inefficient” section. It’s a battle, especially when you have very hands-on clients, and especially when you have team members who need to be hand-held the entire project or for whom English is a second language.

Thanks again!

Cully

I found an realy interesting blog not so long ago. It’s about project management 2.0 – managing projects with the help of 2.0 tools. It’s not a simple “how to” blog. The author tries to establish a new project management concept. Some posts are questionable of course, but there are some fresh ideas too. I thought you might be interested to have a look http://www.wrike.com/projectmanagement/03/25/2008/Bridging-the-Three-Gaps-in-Project-Management

Aditya,

Thanks for the comments. I’ve used Basecamp before, but feel that it’s lacking. I haven’t used Deskaway, but will look into it–although I think MS Project will probably be what I use–

Thanks!

Quite a handy list there. This is more like a check list. It’s more psychological in nature. Which is important. Project management i believe requires a mindset as well. You’ve addressed that part of it really well. Along with that, i think certain tools are also needed to streamline project management processes – they automate a lot of things and make this checklist more relevant. I’ve been using Deskaway (www.deskaway.com) – a great tool i must say! Its handy and quite cost effective and it helps me focus on the psychological part of project management more.. Its not the only tool around – there’s BAsecamp (www.basecamp.com) – which i think is a little expensive and not so feature intensive with respect to relevant augmentations. Zoho has a good PM tool (www.zoho.com) – that too is feature heavy at a competitive price – but i liked the Deskaway interface more so i went for that. Anyway besides that – in a media company like mine, these psychological, communication relationship aspects are key! Thanks for the list!
