Online project management resources: shared

Some of our readers would like to share resources they've found useful. Isn't that what blogging is all about?

The first relates to project management tools. See Squeezed Books: Online Guide to Project Management Resources.

The site gives a short review of several tools and how they can prove useful in projects. They range from cloud-based tools, open source, apps etc. and cover such software as : Zoho, Microsoft Project, Teamlab, Campfire, Basecamp, Huddle, Binfire, the jxProject, Dot Project, Task Juggler, Open Workbench, Gliffy, GQueues, gTrax, and Google Drive among others. Any of these ring a bell with you? Are you using them or others like them?

The second resource that's recommended is 10 Tips for Project Management Prosperity.

Although these are tips for general project management, you'll recognise their value. We major on all the aspects in this blog. Perhaps the Tip Number 9, Test Deliverables, seems to lean towards the older waterfall methodology of software development rather than the Agile approach, but the principle remains valid.

Many thanks to Stacy and her students. Anyone else like to share? We're listening.
