Many of the posts written for the blog are provided by the company&#8217;s accredited PRINCE2 trainers. &#8220;We blog to keep up interest in our site and to provide resources for the delegates on our PRINCE2 courses,&#8221; Andy says. &#8220;We&#8217;re interested in finding that audience of people interested in Project Management, especially those looking for PM qualifications such as PRINCE2. It serves as a compilation of project management news, tips, tools, resources and downloads to complement our PRINCE2 training courses and for general reading.&#8221; Silicon Beach Training are based in Brighton, offering courses on IT and Business skills as well as project management. &#8220;We provide over 200 courses on a range of subjects – everything from web design to confidence building,&#8221; Andy says. &#8220;Rather than clog up our main site with multiple blog posts every day we decided to create a sister site for some of our key areas so that we could blog regularly for a particular niche without putting off those not interested.&#8221; The most popular post stems from leadership issues raised in 2010: Is Project Management and Project Leadership the same? Andy points to three specific favourites: PRINCE2 Exam Tips: Our Top 7 Tips for Success PRINCE2 Project Initiation Document Template Project Management Tips: Setting SMART Goals Andy and PRINCE2 Training can be followed on Twitter at @TrainingPRINCE2.

		<description><![CDATA[SpanishPMO is a Spanish-language project management blog run by Fermin de Rojas that focuses on elements within PM, namely methodologies, tools, jobs and coaching. A bilingual project management expert educated at Brighton University, Fermin was startled to find a wealth of PM blogs available in English, compared to the relative lack in his native Spanish, and decided to take care of such matters himself as a major audience seemed to be missing out. &#8220;I took for granted that everybody could speak english or at least could read it, but realised that there were very little information regarding Project Management in Spanish,&#8221; Fermin told us. &#8220;Bear in mind that there are 350 million Spanish speakers, mainly in Latin America, EEUU and Spain. &#8220;This is the main reason why SpanishPMO.com was born, a website focus in project management in spanish, specialized in articles of how to set up a PMO, methodologies like Prince2 and PMI, tools, cyber security, coaching, negotiation and leadership skills.&#8221; Fermin uses SpanishPMO as a portal in &#8220;specialized in articles of how to set up a PMO, methodologies like Prince2 and PMI, tools, cybersecurity, coaching, negotiation and leadership skills.&#8221; He says his audiences not only centers on those practising or interested in practising project management and leadership, but also those who work in an office environment. &#8220;I motivated to blog through my own goals of personal self-improvement and self-satisfaction.

		<description><![CDATA[The AFA blog is one of the most recently established blogs on PPM Community, premiering 1st November 2010. It&#8217;s company blog for AFA, established as a management consultancy organisation 15 years ago and since developing into a reputable training course provider. Alan Ferguson suggested AFA to PPM Community, as the blog updates 3-5 times per week. &#8220;As one of the most successful and well known project management specialists throughout the UK and Europe, AFA would like to give a unique insight into the mind of some of the most respected managers within the community and a unique &#8216;all access&#8217; view of our organisation,&#8221; he says. &#8220;We hope the AFA blog will give people an insight into practices for delivering change, including portfolio, programme and project management as well as AFA as an organisation. The newness of the blog creates an uncertainty as to where the content of the blog will lead over time, though change could be a key area of focus. &#8220;What will we be discussing? Of course we don’t know – that is the beauty of a blog,&#8221; Alan says. &#8220;When AFA was founded by me over 15 years ago the world was simple – we used project management. But as time has moved on we have all realised that we need more tools, methods, methodologies, disciplines, practices… Then there is programme and now portfolio management, offices, maturity models and a whole range of super-techniques: benefits, risk, value. And below all this sits the softer side of achieving ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[PRINCE2 in Spanish is a blog run by freelance consultant Jose Luis Fernandez that began in May 2009 with an aim &#8220;to promote the use of PRINCE2 in Spanish and help with the PRINCE2 certification.&#8221; Jose Luis posts up to two times monthly, providing a distinctive Spanish-language voice for PRINCE2 focussed project managers worldwide. &#8220;PRINCE2 in Spanish is a blog to talk about the PRINCE2 method, the PRINCE2 certification and news related with PRINCE2 in general,&#8221; he says. &#8220;My goal is to share information that I find interesting with the rest of people who can find it interesting too. My intended audience includes people interested in knowing what PRINCE2 is and students of the PRINCE2 certification.&#8221; Jose Luis worked for more than a decade in the IT industry in a variety of capacities, including software developer, analyst, team leader and consultant on different projects for different clients. He says he has a strong software development &#38; analysis background, particularly in retail and government, which has since fueled his interest in project management. His most popular post on PRINCE2 in Spanish concerned the Processes of the methodology: Los Procesos de PRINCE2 He also lists his favourite posts as revolving around the evolution of PRINCE2, including the 2009 revamp: Datos Sobre Las Certificaciónes PRINCE2 Certificación PRINCE2:2009 Certificación PRINCE2 You can follow Jose Luis Fernandez and PRINCE2 in Spanish on Twitter @jlfera URL: http://jlfr-prince2.blogspot.com/ RSS Feed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/Prince2InSpanish If you enjoy the PRINCE2 in Spanish, leave a comment and share your thoughts with others. ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Green PM &#8211; Fresh Perspectives on Project Leadership is a weekly blog run by veteran project management professional Jhaymee Wilson dedicated to promoting and advancing the project management profession on a global scale. Jhaymee, a Project Manager for an IT firm based in Virginia, premiered the blog in February 2010 with a goal of reaching two emerging sectors of project management: the &#8220;green minded&#8221; and the new recruits, with a focus on getting started as through pillars she states as: Education Experience Mentoring &#8220;I wanted to provide new and emerging project managers (or &#8216;green&#8217; PMs) with a good resource to learn about how to begin a career in project management,&#8221; she says. &#8220;The Green PM focuses on creating and cultivating leaders rather than managers. The articles provided on the blog give our &#8216;green&#8217; PMs an idea of concepts that leaders should think about, and focuses on building values based leaders in project management.&#8221; In Green PM, Jhaymee writes in a manner that allows her to combine experience in the PM field (she has been at her Virginia IT firm for 7 years, dealing with projects in finance and non-profit) with her wealth of education on project management and IT (which includes a PMP, an IPMA-D and an MS in Project Management). While admitting it&#8217;s heavy on personal experiences, Jhaymee says her intended audience of budding PMs can take away more about the roots of leadership rather than merely managing the project. &#8220;As a recent graduate of the Master’s in ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The APM Blog is one of the most recent additions to the PPM blogosphere, opening up shop in March 2010. Edited by Owain Wilson, the blog features many featured writers and personalities from both the Association for Project Management and Project magazine, including Liz Wilson, Julie Legge and Andrew Bragg. Recognising the abundance of PPM-based websites, Owain told PPMCommunity that the APM Blog started as a means to &#8220;engage with the online project management community, and as part of a portfolio of functionality to create a unique online space for members and non-members alike.&#8221; Considering that the APM is currently lobbying for Chartered status nationally for project managers, engagement with the socially-minded project management is well-timed with the new blog. Owain says the blog intends to stimulate conversation within the community of project and programme professionals, including both APM and non-APM members. &#8220;The APM blog features refreshing project management opinion and comment from prominent APM staff, designed to stimulate debate amongst the profession, as well as communicate key APM messages. Typically we blog to share thoughts, to react to contemporary issues and to make key announcements from the association.&#8221; Owain said there were three particular provoking posts that ranks as his favourites from the APM Blog archives: Why APM doesn&#8217;t hate PMOs Has project management come of age? Marriage guidance for project managers? You can keep track of what the APM Blog is up to on their Twitter account @apmprojectmgmt Blog: http://www.apm5dimensions.com/blog Feed: http://www.apm5dimensions.com/blog/feed?uid= If you enjoy The APM Blog, ...]]></description>
