I'm writing an article about how project managers are utilizing social media platforms to facilitate better projects and I thought I'd start at the top. Do you have time for a quick interview? I'm on a rather tight deadline so thanks in advance for getting back to me! Chauncey Hollingsworth chauncey@zephyrsyndicate.com Hello Bas,

My name is Chauncey Hollingsworth and I’m a contributor for PM Network
magazine, a publication of PMI, the Project Management Institute, the
largest non-profit project management trade organization in the world.

I’m writing an article about how project managers are utilizing social media
platforms to facilitate better projects and I thought I’d start at the top.
Do you have time for a quick interview?

I’m on a rather tight deadline so thanks in advance for getting back to me!

Research on BPOs? My colleagues tell me there is a lack of project management in software development in countries like India. Is this true? How do things get done there? Bas,

It even matters on a grande scale... on the scale of society... Doesn't that make it worth the extra effort :) @Kondal: and to add: it is mostly about the notion that the way we do software projects matters.

Stay tuned to this blog for "the plan" (have to create one first :)) @Kondal: :) nah, no charity, but the information is free... Currently software projects are not constructed in the way I described. True virtual/global teaming is still rare and have less them moderate success ... (of course with some exceptions). On this site we will dig into the problems and come up with knowledge and solutions. And we share that information. That is basically what I think we should do... but of course, this might change. @Krishna: thank you for your response. Stay tuned to this blog for “the plan” (have to create one first :) )

Good one though! I am glad you visited India. Yes, it is a great country with lot of emphasis on educational system. In a way Education is survival for living for most of the middle class and poor families to improve their living standard besides acquiring knowledge through education. This is the best wish of the parents for their children to live better than them and be more knowledbgeable. This is the biggest sacrifice parents do for their children in India. Indian Parents work hard, go through lot of pain, spend energy and time to support childrens education. By the way, I do not clearly understand what exactly you wanted to do? Please do elaborate it and explain what you are planning to do. Thanks. Hi Bas,
