Hitchhikersguide
This document discusses project management tools and resources on the web. It summarizes five useful websites: PMI.org which contains career resources, standards, white papers, and information on virtual communities; Gantthead.com which provides project templates; RMC Project Management which offers templates and FAQs; Project Connection which is an intuitive site for templates; and IIBA.org which is relevant for business analysis professionals. It emphasizes that information on the web can be difficult to find and stresses the importance of keywords, scanable resumes, and communicating effectively online.
