Hi -
Technically, you were supposed to receive this email this morning but I didn't set the mail send options correctly. Anyway, it is probably Tuesday morning when you're reading but the content is still just as valuable.
A few weeks ago I gave a presentation on Improving Project Management Competency with Social Media. The presentation discussed several ways project managers can use social media to improve their project management competency...without wasting a lot of time searching the web for the latest project management topics.
One solution in the social media strategy was to apply an inbound concept of receiving reliable content from project managers you trust. Hence the purpose of this email and Tactical Project Management's ongoing Monday Mentoring newsletter. Each week, I'll be sending out the top 5 articles from my social media network of project managers, PMOs and software developers.
You can also check out what I'm reading real-time at Tactical PM's Tactical Tips Blog at:
I've always been a fan of the joelonsoftware.com blog. He has a lot of great content on the software development in the real world. This article focuses on the importance of finding a duct tape programmer who realizes the product must be shipped even if the code isn't the most elegant or best implemented design.
