 What project management blogs do you read? I’ve assembled a list of blogs that give me substantial food for thought when I write on innovations in project management. The list also includes blogs that serve as great sources of information about Enterprise 2.0, new management methodologies, leadership, motivation, as well as useful project management tips you can use in your day-to-day job. I hope these resources will help you take a look at your management practices from another point of view or perhaps even push you to radical changes in the ways you manage your projects and teams. I wrote a short summary for every blog, so that it would be more convenient for you. Enjoy!

 My work on several previous posts, where I tried to dig into the nature and highlight the key differentiators of Project Management 2.0, pushed me to create a fresh updated version of the definition for this new phenomenon.

 At the PMI Global Congress that I attended in October, I met many project management practitioners. Some of them asked me about my views on Project Management 2.0. One of the questions was “How is Project Management 2.0 different from what many organizations have today?”
I decided to summarize my answers and came up with a short list of key factors that distinguish Project Management 2.0 from traditional project management.

 Today, I entered the IT Blog Awards 2009 held by ComputerWeekly.com. My blog is nominated in the project management category, and I hope you’ll be able to support me in this contest. This is a U.K.-based blogging competition open to blogs that are originated outside of U.K. I think the ComputerWeekly Blog Awards is a great initiative that will help professionals from IT and other industries find the best authors, sharing their real life experience and useful tips. By the way, my fellow blogger Elizabeth Harrin, the author of the PM4Girls blog, won the best IT Project Management blog award from ComputerWeekly.com last year.

 Several months ago I created a Facebook group devoted to the new approach to project management, Project Management 2.0. I’m a strong believer in collective intelligence and the power of social media in promoting it. I launched the group hoping that it would be a great place for people who are enthusiastic about the new trend to share their ideas and contribute to the ongoing conversation about how Enterprise 2.0 technologies influence traditional project management practices. So it is. I’m happy to announce that the Project Management 2.0 Facebook group now has 100 members and is growing every day!
If you are passionate about making your project management practices more efficient with Web 2.0 and Enterprise 2.0 tools and principles, I welcome you to join the Project Management 2.0 group to share your experience and throw in your thoughts.

In my two latest posts (about Level 5 Leadership with Project Management 2.0 here and about Leading Collective Intelligence) I wrote about leaders and leadership aspects in Project Management 2.0. Now, it’s time to discuss project teams and their transformations in the PM 2.0 reality.

It’s been a long time since I wrote my last post. The end of the last year and beginning of this one were very busy and exciting. I was participating in several industry conferences, meeting new people, getting new ideas from them and picking up some interesting topics. One of them is leadership in project management. The development of collective intelligence and collaborative Web 2.0 solutions gives this topic a whole new angle. I thought of writing a couple of posts, reflecting on my perception of leadership in the age of collective intelligence. So here’s the first one.

It's obvious that the technological communities are thriving, despite the unstable economical situation. I was invited to submit a few topics to several IT and PM conferences that will be held next year. Browsing through the areas of focus of these conferences, I've noticed that there are more and more talks about integration between data sources and software applications.

 Today, no company can be immune to the current economic situation. So it is the time for many businesses to analyze their business model and risk profile.
Economics experts join their voices stating that the best thing you can do to withstand the crisis is to improve your customer service and be attentive to customer needs. Terry Leahy, the head of TESCO, a British-based international grocery and general merchandising retail chain, noted in one of his recent interviews that staying close to customers is the key to surviving the current, difficult economic conditions. “We learned some lessons, and the message is simple – stay with your customers. Listen to your customers.”
For project managers, it’s important that you treat your customers as stakeholders. John Mackey (CEO of Whole Foods) and Kip Tindell (CEO of The Container Store), who drove their companies with a constant growth over good and bad times, explain their take on stakeholders in this very interesting interview. It’s a must-read for executives in the current economic conditions.
