Project Management Monthly Tips from Computerworld

Computerworld has a new monthly column in their Project Management section called Managers' Forum. In this month's inaugural column, it addresses three issues:

• Getting responsiveness from people who don't report to you
• How much a manager needs to understand technical details
• What to do when a senior manager asks for an impossible date

All in all, the host, Paul Glen, offers sound advice that should prove useful to project managers.

I'm glad they decided to start with the "soft skills," which are by far the most difficult challenges project managers face. It should be a useful column that we'll be sure to link to each month.
