Project Management Approaches; Not One Size Fits All
While seemingly basic, this project management Wikipedia section from Answers.com is surprisingly robust, with good explanations of critical chain, WBS development, Earned Value, etc.
Best of all, it explores various approaches one can take to managing a project, including "extreme project management."
The best project management metholodogies do not take a "one size fits all" approach, but instead offer multiple approaches, depending on the nature of the project, and the circumstances. This site is a good place to start for those exploring alternative approaches.

After reading this article . It is easy to see why so many project managers fail at doing their task. With all of the tasks on a project managers hands it is hard to succeed without a good management style.The technique that I have integrated into my office that has improved my company's productivity is the use of VoIP collaboration software.I have been using Communiclique's software for about 6 months in my office and it has all the members of my team organized and on the same page.Also it allows me to keep track of progress on a particular project with out me having to do the run around in my office. You guys should really check the software out im sure it will help you as much as it has helped me.
