LinkedIn has some great PM groups, and there are PM blogs galore. There is one online question database that I’ve been tweeting about all week that I thought I would blog about and hopefully grab a few more followers.

The site is Ask About Projects and they are losing the free stackexchange service any day now. Rather than start charging for the service, the Ask About Projects team is trying for another free service at Area 51. What they need is another 3 people to follow. Another 5 questions voted on topic and the same number voted off topic to move on to the next stage.

Following is just a click of  a button and creating a small profile. You can post up to 5 new sample questions and vote on 5 in each category.

Check out the two sites and jump on the bandwagon to save the site.

Thanks.

Perry

That’s 10 locations, one had 5 units to show, 2 had 2 units and  a bonus, there was an open house in one of the units. So, it was great but tiring.

This post is about places to ask and  find answers to your PM questions. Places on line, other than Google searches.

LinkedIn has a list of PM related groups. Join one and start a discussion – or create your own group.

Ask About Projects, is also a great resource. It’s more casual than LinkedIn and allows you to vote on good answers as well as to provide your own answers.

Those are two of my favorites, what would you contribute to a list of great sites for PMs?
