Web Sites and Blogs

Change Through Action: Deanne Earle is a project management consultant who specializes in organizational change and IT projects.

Gantthead: This is a great website focused on IT articles and blogs. They offer a great newsletter, white papers, articles and videos. They also offer an online community where you can interact with other project managers. Definitely a site I would recommend.

PM Student: Josh Nankivel's blog site is dedicated to helping project managers achieve their career goals through various publications and training courses. Josh offers several posts on a variety of project management topics and not only welcomes he encourages interaction.

Programme and Project Management Community: This site boasts a list of the top 100 PPM blogs. It's a great place to introduce yourself to the project management blogging community—and even vote for your favorite blog.

Twitter

pmot—Project Managers on Twitter is a great feed, with lots of professionals willing to share their experiences and insight. If you follow just one Twitter feed on project management, this is the one I recommend.

ftpm—First Time Project Managers is a great feed for those just getting started or who are accidental project managers trying to get their feet wet.

Books

Project Decisions: The Art and Science, by Lev Virine and Michael Trumper
A great book that addresses the psychological concepts that motivate behavior and decision-making.
