What's New
Get the Entire PM Minimalist Collection “To Go” on Your Kindle, NOOK, iPad, or Other Mobile Device!
I spent much of January slogging through the chores of file conversion, reformatting, etc. in order to make the entire PM Minimalist Collection available to use on your Kindle, NOOK, iPad, or any other mobile device. The graphic below illustrates the results. For details, including video overviews & samples, go to http://michaelgreer.biz/?p=3966 or click the image below.

Lindsay Scott’s One Simple Thing: Emphasize “Management” in PM
The latest addition to our "One Simple Thing..." series is from Lindsay Scott, Director of Arras People, the UK’s project management recruitment specialists. Lindsay says we need to emphasize the "management" in project management and explains the "why" and "how" of this in her guest blog post. See Lindsay Scott’s One Simple Thing: Emphasize “Management” in PM for more.

Still Available -- A Gift for You: A Free PM Book for Your Kindle, NOOK, iPad or Other Tablet / E-Reader
The Holidays may be over, but I've decided to continue offering this free gift for your new Kindle, NOOK, iPad, or other e-Reader/tablet computer.
You'll find two new versions of The PM Minimalist Quick Start Guide: a "mobi" version (used by Kindle readers) and an "epub" version (used by NOOK, iPad, & nearly all other e-readers/tablets). And you can get them both for free!
The 38-page PM Minimalist Quick Start Guide is designed to help you plan and manage your first project using the PM Minimalist approach.

Video: "Website Tour: Michael Greer's PM Resources"

I just released a video that provides a quick (5 minute) tour of my website, Michael Greer's PM Resources.
- The good news: The website has been around since 1999! And I've been adding articles, links, and tools every month since it first launched.
- The bad news: A lot of good PM stuff has accumulated there and sometimes it's hard to find what you're looking for.
This video will help you see how the site is organized and help you find that buried PM treasure you may be looking for.
If you've been waiting for a rock-bottom price, here's your chance! Click one of the links above.

PM Minimalist Support System & Freebies
The PM Minimalist Support System & Freebies page includes a chart summarizing links to
multi-media collection of resources to help individual project managers, project teams and entire organizations go Minimalist. Check it out! (Note: I'll be adding to this grid as I make more support items available.)
Now Available: One Dozen Private & Customizable PM Webinars!

So… you
don’t have time to stop working for several days and send everybody to PM training? Or maybe you

I've just set up a chat room at my website where we can talk live, one-on-one (or one on two, since it will handle 3-way live video conversations). All you need is a web cam, a microphone, and a browser connected to the 'net.

No other software is needed.
