Adopt this mnemonic for your project environment. Thanks Matt for writing about it.
Raven is consolidating project management hash tags for use on Twitter. Thank you Raven!
Read the latest story of how green meets lean, or should I say kaizen? It's a Wall St Journal article that you don't want to miss.
It irks me when people play games with their writing. It wastes the readers' time, turns them off to what one has to say, and creates idealogical warfares. Write clearly...for the readers. Sorry for this outburst. Let's speak (and write) so we can be understood. Our projects will benefit from that.
Try Blogging Again Industry Week

I'm pleased to see editors and writers at Industry Week (IW) blogging. John Brandt, former publisher and editor of IW, and Patricia Panchak, Editor-in-Chief, write great columns. Their initial weblog posts meet their high journalistic standards. If only it was easy to read their postings.
In spite of the great writing, IW needs to go back to the drawing board. This is not a weblog. Fast Company has a group weblog FC Now. Business Week has twelve group weblogs: Tech Beat, Nussbaum on Design, Hot Property, etc.. Business 2.0 has a great weblog B2Day. Industry Week is using a forum/bulletin board. There's no RSS feed. (They do have feeds for their columns.) There's no way to subscribe via email. You'll have to bookmark the site (and remember to visit it). Way too much trouble for me.
