It’s really ironic sometimes. Modern technology has made our lives—both work and leisure, easier and more efficient—but when we are not careful, that same technology can also distract us and be inefficient.
That is, I think, why project management tools and software thrive. We need a software or a tool that will help us put things in order and achieve more.

A Senior Fellow at Carnegie Mellon University’s SoftwareEngineering Institute, Watts Humphrey is a National Medal of Technology winner who is known as the “Father of Software Quality.”Humphrey pioneered concepts such as the Capability Maturity Model in 1988, which overhauled software-project management. In his new book, Reflections on Management, Humphrey provides these insights that reveal to software pros that they need to manage their teams and – above all – themselves, as much as their code.
Dr. Hank: You have developed great expertise in Project Management. How did you get interested in this field?
Terry: My love of projects began in high school when I launched a small rocket loaded with guppies. That project earned national press coverage and motivated me to study aerospace engineering. During a summer internship at NASA, I devoured all the project and program management books in their library. This ignited my passion for Project Management and systems thinking, which considers how all the elements of large and complex systems work together to accomplish the big picture goal.
Summary:
Remote support technology is one of the most popular service and support automation tools for high-tech companies, with a well understood and easily documented return on investment story. Though basic remote control is available from many sources, including some freeware and shareware options, companies interested in improving both the economics of support and the customer experience should understand the risks involved with lower-end tools, and learn how leveraging a best-of-breed product will accelerate operational improvements and customer satisfaction ratings. In this report, find out 10 critical selection criteria to use when evaluating remote support platforms, and identify how moving beyond homegrown or freeware tools will accelerate the achievement of business goals for your service and support operation.Click here to launch the document.

If you’re dreaming of an easy-to-use project management tool, then Team Effect may just be the one for you.
Read how it works HERE.
Global Knowledge recently released a whitepaper that discusses what the formal project management is and who needs it.
For the purpose of this discussion, I will to refer to PM activities in the absence of operating guidelines as “informal” project management. By contrast, project management that takes place within the restrictions of an imposed set of operating guidelines will be referred to as “formal” project management.
If formal project management means setting standards to do the PM work well, then I totally support this.
Like any other activity or project, we need tools do our tasks well.
