Method123 Wins Gartner Award

Method123, leading providers in the online project management industry, announced today that the top market research firm Gartner Inc has awarded Method123 as "Cool Vendor of the Month" in the "Online Project Management" space for 2010.

The report states that "Method123's secret is that it truly understands the world of the multi-project manager in a low maturity organization. Even when things might be done differently in a perfect world, Method123 understands its audience and says ‘we understand that you have multiple things you’re doing; let us help you do the work on your plate.” Method 123 also has expanded into offering basic PPM capabilities as well for clients who like the method and want it seamless integrated into a Saas based project management tool.’

The key findings in the report were that: "We find that many new PMO leaders believe their success or failure will be determined by their ability to develop and deploy a single project management method. Consequently, they spend a great deal of time focused on that objective, often at the price of delaying other, more important activities such as improving project risk management or implementing portfolio management. Therefore, this year's Cool Vendor report will focus on four PPM methodology vendors — all of whom can provide high quality solutions, often at less cost than most organizations can develop internally"

Communications Register

Under what situations should I create a Communications Register for my project ? For small, medium and large projects you should always implement a Communications Register. This register will identify all of the communications events that have taken place for the project and also the communications events that are due to take place in the future. The reason for listing the communications events that are due to take place is that it provides a single place where the project manager can use and control communications to stake holders. For example the register will enable the project manager to view the status of all of the communications to date and determine whether or not the stake holders to the project are being kept in the loop and informed.
