Jurgen Appelo writes an interesting blog on software engineering. He recently did a great job of analyzing and ranking blogs for development managers. The result of his efforts is the impressive list of 100 most popular blogs in this area.
I think it must have been hard to search those for blogs and to evaluate each one of them. I’m glad that Project Management 2.0 blog is a part of it. I was also happy to see Bas de Baar and some other fellow bloggers in the top 100.

I presented Project Management 2.0 at the UTD Project Management Symposium on August 18. The audience was terrific.

We had an interesting 30-minute Q&A.

Interview with Project Shrink
I was interviewed by Bas de Bar recently. Bas has a great blog called Project Shrink. It is a valuable source of tips, ideas and other important information for project managers. Bas is also the author of "Surprise! Now You're a Software Project Manager." Those of you who are in software development might want to have a look at it.
We had a conversation about the nature of Project Management 2.0, emergent structures, collective intelligence, project management software and my work on Wrike. It was a pretty long dialog, so Bas decided to publish it in parts. I will be glad to get your feedback on what I said there. Read full article >

Project Management Software, Mind Mapping, Weak Ties and the Human Brain

Tags: mind mapping, weak ties, many-to-many
I have already mentioned that many-to-many structures employed in project management 2.0 software offer a better way to organize your projects. Here is an interesting angle on the same topic.
Have you ever thought about how our mind organizes ideas? We do not organize all the information we know in one strict hierarchical tree, life is too diverse for that. Associations radiating out (or in) from many different connection points help our brain to navigate through a vast information pool and quickly make decisions. Many connections in many different directions connect items together. We could say that the structure in our mind is a network of connections or a many-to many structure. Read full article >

Many-to-Many Structure Flexibility vs. Stiff One-to-Many Hierarchies

Tags: many-to-many, , planning
Dave Prior and Bob Tarne have recently blogged about the so-called post-modern project management with a reference to Dr. Davidson Frame. Their idea is that there are lots of methodologies available, and that in real life, there can’t be just “one true way” for managing a project. Each project is unique, and each time we need to find a new way of managing and completing it, very often mixing several methods and techniques. This is the creative part of the project manager’s job. The project manager needs to be flexible and try to view his or her project from different angles to understand which methodology he or she should apply and how to use different methods together harmoniously. Here, the right tools will be a great help. Project management software should support a manager’s flexibility, giving him or her options to look at the same project from different perspectives.

In one of my recent posts I wrote that using project management 2.0 software helps project manager guide his team’s work, delegate some of his initial duties and allocate roles and responsibilities so that they are clear to everybody on the team. Project management 2.0 tools also let one apply some traditional methodologies of structuring responsibilities more effectively. Let’s take RACI as an example.
