AdamOnProjects “The Raw Feed” is the place to get an early and informal look at the concepts and ideas Adam is thinking about and working on. This process happens weeks or months before anything is posted online on AOP or other publications.
Each week, Adam gives insights into project management across the enormous range of information and skills that a truly successful project manager needs to master. Adam also links to books and online resources that he’s been reading during the week and that he thinks will be of interest to subscribers.
Please see the editions below (most recent at the top) with a short description of the main content.
The only place to see the actual content of the newsletter is to sign-up to the mailing list, or ask me for a sample. Please email me at adam@adamonprojects.com or sign up using the form in the right margin or on the homepage
