The Project Management Link-fest - a list of links focused on project management and related business topics, hand picked by yours truly! The last time I posted a link-fest was the end of March, and I hope to post them more regularly going forward.

Wondering how posts get added to my Project Management Link-fest? Like Bas at Project Shrink, I follow a TON of project management blogs, not to mention the numerous management, personal/professional development and leadership blogs I subscribe to. I read a lot of solid, project management focused and related content, and don't have time to do a post on each item I come across, so a lot of good stuff gets put in the bucket for the next link-fest. I want to highlight some of the great thoughts out there, as they are what fuel my blog's fire! Of course, if you have something PMish you're really proud of you can always send me an email and I might just add your piece to the project management link-fest pie - yum!
