How's does PM-Now Work?
If you have visited this site more than once you will have noticed that things keep changing. Considering that this community site is for PM's, we didn't think that this would be a major issue, as change is what we are all about.
As you are aware, it's early days yet and during the concept phase we have not provided any guidance as to how it all works, due to the changes of the structure to this site. Now that this phase is nearing an end, we will be developing a "how to" guide. This guide will be a detailed structural background of the site and how to use it.
In broad terms, PM-Now is broken into several sections. Links to all the sections of interest can be found on the PM-Central Tab. The current section listed are; Topics of Interest, Organisational and Knowledge Areas. Each section is then broken down into Categories specific to that Section.
Each category level then has a main site called K-Base. This page provides the base for linking you to any area of knowledge that is currently available on PM-Now for your chosen relevant subject.
K-Base has 2 sub sites, one being Let's Talk and the other Let's Blog. The overall purpose for the 2 sites is the same. They are both area's that allow collaboration and discussion about the categories they fall under.
The Let's Talk site provides discussion forums (The Issues and The Opportunities) that start with a single comment or question and can grow into multiple debates about a raft of issues or even a means for mentoring others in the community.
The Let's Blog site is a little bit more structured, and by that we mean each posting is about a specific subject. The subject is provided in Peer Papers, which are provided by any Author and contain their thoughts about what they consider to be relevant for the community.
Please don’t be too critical given where PM-Now is at the moment, as this project is for love and it is a major undertaking to get everything in place.
Please keep coming back and you will see the growth in what we are hoping will be a very short time.
