PROJECTCONNECTIONS.COM - Free helpful resources and tools for Program and Project Managers

http://www.projectconnections.com/index.html

PROJECTCONNECTIONS.COM - Here's a good site for Program and Project Managers. It's loaded with Templates, Articles and Papers for review and use. There is a small catch that you have to register for the site to access the materials. On the good side membership is free so there are no hidden costs for basic access. (None that I've found yet anyhow.)

I'm currently reading the paper "Best Practices from Experiences in Facilitating Virtual Meetings." The paper lists 9 lessons of virtual meetings that managers need to understand. The paper also provides best practice recommendations for each of the 9 lessons to help Managers effectively work through issues.

Enjoy the site!

On working with teams virtually...

Yesterday I said I didn't think much in-depth thought had been given to the issues arising from the advent of telecommuting and virtual teams. Of course, (thanks to Google) I'm finding that there are lots of great thinkers meditating on these issues daily.

Here's a great blog I found today called:

Working with People We Can't Be With

I'm currently reading this article which has started to outline the A-Z of virtual teams.
