I first got into Project Management because I was developing software while I was in University and I've been fascinated with Project Management since then. I was interested in the hard skills I was missing (Earned Value Management was my first Project Management big discovery). And then came the soft skills. And then came the business needs. Project Management is a huge melting pot and I love it - the challenges, the knowledge and the people; and the feeling of having something "done".
I trained a lot of people some years back, and this is something I enjoy doing - very much, I must add. Unfortunately time only allows one to do a certain amount of work so I had to make some options. Now I work for a small company on a large Portuguese Holding doing a wide variety of projects mainly on IT - lots of challenges, learning and great people.
And I also do volunteer work for the Project Management Institute and I'm currently the Assistant Director for Podcasts of the Information Systems Community of Practice.
...Ah-Ha-Moments
Vision
Ah-Ha-Moments will be a Project Management mandatory reference. This will be done with my effort but that won't be enough. So this blog will need the help of everyone who has something to add to this fascinating discipline.
Mission
The purpose of Ah-Ha-Moments is to share knowledge, ideas and experiences about Project Management. 2 main ideas:
- It is intended for all Project Managers working on any industry (for those just starting on this profession and also for those who are as seniors as possible);
- And it has different perspectives on Project Management, my own along side with others'.
- A weekly article (posted on Fridays at 22:45 GMT)
- Inspiring quotes
- Guest posts
- Aggregating posts from other Project Management blogs (there are many great blogs on this subject)
This blog is for Project Managers and it is intended to be a place to share: that's why it has the tag line "...the network to share knowledge, ideas and experiences on Project Management.". I share mainly through the articles I post, but also with the pages "Downloads", "Software Directory" and "Upcoming events". You can share by posting as well (there are guest posts) but mainly you can add value with your comments. And disagreeing is great!
