As a project manager, how to you improve your project management competency? The industry is full of options to provide training and learning opportunities ranging from in-seat training classes, project management organizations, conferences, on-the-job training, mentoring and various books and magazines targeted to our profession. You can’t forget all the websites, discussion forums, e-zines and blogs that produce daily content filled with tips and advice on project management execution.
Since project managers are tasked with successful project delivery, there simply isn’t enough time to review all these training sources to learn new ideas and improve existing skill sets. Is there ever a good time to take training during a project? If we are lucky, we have a small amount of time between meetings to skim a few project management websites in addition to checking ESPN.com for last night’s sports scores. The other challenge is that all of these activities are outbound activities that require you to search, sort and scour the Internet for relevant content.
Wouldn’t it be easier if someone just sent you all the information that you needed to know? Social media helps accomplish this goal by leveraging the interactive and collaborative platforms that Web 2.0 provides.
