Publisher Q&A

How long have you published Best Practices e-Advisor? Publisher: Since January, 2000 How did you get started publishing Best Practices e-Advisor? Publisher: The e-Advisor was an outgrowth of our print publication, People On Projects: The Project Management Best Practices Report. Each month, research information, resources, links and commentary that don't fit in the paid-subscriber publication overflow into the e-Advisor. All our People on Projects subscribers also receive the e-Advisor. It's the icing on the cake. What can a reader expect from an issue of Best Practices e-Advisor? Publisher: Each issue features links to studies and trends of interest to people who manage or work on projects; a book from our bookstore; links to research findings related to project management, or an opinion commentary from our editor; links to sites specifically devoted to the practice of project management; a description of our latest issue of People on Projects with a "best byte" and a related bonus Web link; and a quote related to the theme of the issue. Themes have included communication skills, ethics, visualizing project outcomes, paradox management, estimation skills, ROI calculation--they run the gamut of hard and soft skills.
