PM ENGAGE! 10 ways to make this group interesting again...

Events happening in the community are now at Drupal community events on www.drupal.org.

I recently posted about how sad kitteh I am to see no action on this group.

Here are 10 quick/easy things we can do to change this:

1) Share PM articles to create a cool library of info
2) Share PM podcasts or videos to add interactive media to the mix
3) Ask our PM questions, like "Anyone know how to convince a client NOT to do fixed scope/fixed bid?"
4) Write articles about your PM experiences
5) Share your favorite PM tool & why
6) Ask if anyone has experience with "XYZ" methodology, tool or situation to start up a convo
7) Share an event you're interested in, see if anyone else is going
8) Share a lesson learned on your last retrospective
9) Share a problem you have that you want solved
10) Talk about what you want to see at drupalcons for PM content

Wow - that was easy. I literally spent about 1min thinking about this -- imagine if we ALL had 1min of brain storming devoted to making this group cool and full of information!

I have another thing to ask of you: Help me find more of you, so that I can help us do the following:

1) compile a list of of some PM's who are engaged (or complete it if one exists already!)
2) keep y'all in the loop about webinars & events I'm organizing
3) find out if anyone else is doing the same thing I am and wants to join forces
4) start doing awesome drupal PM-y stuff with you

Me like lists.

So, can has interested/engaged people? Pweeze?

Count me in.

Also interested in:

  1. Are people interested in an on-line meetup? I'm sure we're all spread far and wide
  2. People's experience of dealing with tenders that either have fixed costs or even worse no budget specified

Totally into the idea, but I can't make next Thursday. :(

There will be notes taken and distributed by email in good PM style, right? Right?

Euuh, Totally.

svettes's picture

I don't think you could stop me from taking notes. I'll take them on hackpad or something that way it can be interactive. Will post about it here after for y'all who can't make it!

hackpad++ we may consider

Woot!!

I think we can call this page officially, temporarily, ALIVE!! Me = SO HAPPY right now :D

Thanks to everyone who stood up and said "Don't you f***ing quit on me now, PM Group, HOLD ON!!". I could give you all mouth to mouth for chiming in, sharing, and declaring your support!

Now all we have to do, is keep it going. I'll be checking in from time to time, making sure cool stuff is still happening as much as I can.
