The Fast Forward Mba In Project Management, IT Project Management

Q: I've been looking around to get small courses on it through google.com or relatives, unsuccessfully. My management would like to give me more to do on managing projects and not only doing those. But I need to get a reading backround on the way to handle projects, the pitfalls, etc etc Can anybody point me to relevant URL's?

A:Get a copy of "Fast Forward MBA in Project Management" PMI has a lock on courses in the U.S. for the most part. Boutiques do some training. Some Universities also offer 2 - 3 day courses occasionally (e.g., MIT). In the E.U., I'm not to sure. I'd imagine there is more. Project Management is treated more so as public domain. Also, there are some decent self study courses available. Check eBay, Half, or pay retail at Nightingale Conant or CareerTrack. http://www.bookfinder.com/dir/i/The_Politics_of_Projects/0136855539/ The Politics of Projects by Bob Block ISBN: 0-13-685553-9 / 0136855539 Title: The Politics of Projects Author: Bob Block Publisher: Prentice Hall PTR Edition: Softcover If you are in the Boston area you can attend one of my public programs at Babson College's Center for Information Mangement (CIMS) To learn more vist my web site below or CIMS at http://www3.babson.edu/Centers/CIMS/ Our next Foundations in PM series starts at the end of April.
