Top 250 Listed Twitter Project Management Folks

Introduction

Following on from the earlier post, based on a mere 25 Twitter lists focused on Project Management, I’ve now updated this to a new research baseline of 908 lists.  Overwhelmingly these lists are focused on undifferentiated project management topics, although there are a small number on agile project management

Remember, this ranking is based on list membership only, i.e. the raw number of the total 908 lists in which they are members.

As before I’ve updated the list with additional information (end of May, 2016) to provide some context.

I’ve had a lot of queries regarding the validity of this ranking.  At one level, it’s just a raw count based on an arbitrary number of baseline source data sets.  At least in this version, the basline is much larger.

I acknowledge that this ranking might seem crude, but I still feel that it has some merit. List membership may have some significant relationship to the level of influence. beyond the raw statistics of tweet and follower counts.

This is because some person had to make a qualitative judgement of whether to add them to the list or not.  Typically that judgement is on the basis that the list owner regards the member as someone that they want to listen to on the topic.

Of course, this can be gamed, just as followers can be bought and tweets can be automated.  “WWW” is short for “Wild Wild West” as much as for “World Wide Web”
