Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Need online learning resources!

Hello,

I’ve just received an internal promotion to project manager after several years in my department. The company will be providing training, but I’d like to start learning as much as possible about PM duties and functions, and especially about how to use any special software or computer tools, since those worry me the most.
Are there any learning resources online, free or otherwise, that you have used the most and found the most useful? I’m not clear if I’d benefit most from tutorials, simple how-tos, or advice columns. I’m very interested to know what’s helped others.
I appreciate any recommendations!

Yours truly,
Andrea

It will help people to make recommendations if you can narrow down a few things:
  • What industry are you in?
  • What software do you plan on using? (or are you asking for recommendations?)
Since you are in the USA, I would recommend checking out PMI.
