project management – Dr. Ray Pastore's Instructional Technology Blog https://raypastore.com/wordpress Mon, 26 Nov 2012 12:44:29 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.7.15 166124113 Giving employees ownership of the company https://raypastore.com/wordpress/2012/11/giving-employees-ownership-of-the-company/ https://raypastore.com/wordpress/2012/11/giving-employees-ownership-of-the-company/#respond Mon, 26 Nov 2012 12:44:29 +0000 https://raypastore.com/wordpress/?p=2016 This week in project management we will be talking about user design and bottom up approaches to management. This video shows an example where employees are given ownership of the company though buy ins and stock. It is interesting to see how employee ownership of the company affects their attitudes. I would imagine that this significantly affects turnover (lack of), motivation, and tough management decisions that might involve cutting/adding to the company.

I have only briefly tested the software but it opens and displays MS Project files without any issues and they looked very good.

It contains many examples and templates for documents commonly used in PM/PMBOK. These are a great start for someone who is new to putting these together and is unsure where to begin. Did I mention its free?

Here is some basic info for instructional designers interested in project management:

Main PM organization: PMI – Project Management Institute – http://www.pmi.org/. PMI has created the PMBOK Standards. These are standards that every single PM should know in all fields. If your PM does not understand these standards I would be hesitant to hire them even if they have 20 years of PM experience (because that doesnt equate to 20 successful years even if it appears so on their resume) http://www.pmi.org/PMBOK-Guide-and-Standards.aspx
There are a number of PM Certifications. PMP being the most recognized. http://www.pmi.org/Certification.aspx

Is it worth it for Instructional Designers to get the PMP certification? Here are some sites that debate the issue. I personally believe it is if you are a PM and it can only help your resume.
