A Girl's Guide to Project Management wins IT Blog Award
Reported by Miles Shepherd in the UK
Elizabeth Harrin's blog "A Girl's Guide to Project Management" (www.pm4girls.co.uk) has won the title of best project management blog in the Computer Weekly IT Blog Awards.
"I'm thrilled, especially when you look at the competition," says Harrin (pictured at right). "I'm really pleased that so many people enjoy what I write and find it useful."
A Girl's Guide to Project Management is an irreverent take on project management, looking at tools and techniques, useful books and also industry events and news. September sees Harrin focus on project management software. She also tries to expunge some of the myths around project management and write down-to-earth, practical advice.
"There is a huge number of women working in project management," Harrin adds, "but we are not a visible population. If you go to conferences, you'll see a handful of women scattered in the audience and very few on the podium. I set up my blog partly to address that balance."
Elizabeth Harrin, BA (Hons), MA, MBCS is an author and project manager living and working in London. She has nearly a decade of experience in projects. Elizabeth has led a variety of IT and process improvement projects including e-commerce and communications developments. She is also experienced in managing business change, having spent eight years working in financial services (including two based in Paris, France). She is the author of Project Management in the Real World (BCS Books).
