Some of you may have noticed that I used to have a link for Method123 and MPMM above the comment box on each post. I’ve removed them and am no longer recommending them.
I have heard good things about them which is why I chose to put the links up in the first place. They may have good products too, as I said I’ve heard good things about them. My reason for not promoting them is that I’ve been hassled lately by their marketing staff…I think they may have been upset that I wasn’t promoting the products on the home page or in a more obvious fashion.
At any rate, I would like to have some kind of similar recommended resource for people who are looking for project management templates and methodology artifacts. Anyone have a recommendation?
If you are selling it, don’t bother….I’m only looking for recommendations from people who have personal experience with the product as a customer and recommend it.
I recently conducted a survey asking for anecdotal stories about how the economy is currently impacting project management. Sorry it’s been awhile!! I would like to share the results with you.
The survey was 100% anonymous, and I even removed any identifying information that a few responders put into the answer. Note that this survey is NOT scientific in any way. It consisted of 2 questions, location and an open-ended one. The categories were created and assigned by me post-hoc after reading through the responses. These 8 categories seemed to emerge as I went through the data. Some are causes and some are effects….some of these are linked. For example, investment/project cutbacks may lead to PM layoffs, etc.
Over the course of this week I will walk through the categories with you, giving some examples of the responses received, and my take on them from the data and from my own personal experience.
