Hello and welcome to the All Things Project Management forum.

I guess I’ve set up this forum as a way to help both students of Project Management and my fellow project managers share ideas and information about our profession. It’s also an efficient way for my students to obtain mentor advice to help them along with their studies.

About me.
I own a boutique project management company, AdvancedPM Pty Ltd, based in Hobart, Tasmania. We service clients in both the public and private sector and across many different industries. Whilst the company is very young, about a year old at the time of writing, I’ve been involved in project management, formally for about seven years and informally for about 19 years. I assess TAFE students from TAFE Tasmania undergoing their Diploma of Project Management, and I’m also an Assessor for the certifications available through the Australian Institute of Project Management. I hold a Master of Management from ANU, an Advanced Diploma in Project Management and I’m a Certified Practising Project Director through the AIPM.

A special note.
My intention is to keep this site light hearted and I don’t intend to take myself too seriously. Too many other people around us do that, so I’ll leave it to them. Please do feel free to post and challenge my comments and theories, I’ll learn just as much from you as you’ll hopefully learn from me. Please play nicely in the sandpit, if you don’t I’ll just take down your post and ban you, then try and arrange a ritual hanging in the town square.

Please contribute.
If you have something to say, say it, don’t hold back. If you want me to cover a topic which isn’t already included, just let me know, I’ll see if I can have a crack at it. If not, I’ll try and point you to an existing expert in the field.

Anyways, thanks for reading and enjoy the project management journey.

Regards,

Shane.
