ProjectShrink.com is an educational experiment. We turn Project Managers into mobile video journalists. We experiment with Internet broadcasting on a ridiculously low budget.
We go to conferences and trade shows whenever we can. We interview the experts, the authors and the people who inspire us and teach us new ways to do our jobs. We are very fortunate to have access to so many great educational resources and we want to share that with our global professional network.
Technology is constantly changing how we work. To succeed, we need to be fluid, adaptive and open to new tools. Deep down, we’re geeks and we love this stuff, so we are road testing the tools that will become required for our work in the very near future and we’ll tell you about it as we go.
“The mission of ProjectShrink.com is to make projects work in our global and virtual world in such a way that they provide a genuine contribution towards a sustainable society.”
Oh. And it should be fun.
As in: awesome.
It’s video. It’s web. It’s very cool.
