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 Eric,

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'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! 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!

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! Quite a handy list there. This is more like a check list.
