Project management consulting and training for social change organisations.
Yesterday I got to deliver another installment of Project Management for NGOs for members of the APC — this time at a European regional staff meeting in Barcelona, Spain. About 10 of us spent the day talking through some basic project management theory and practice, working through a couple of group exercises (that's Maxigas participating in a WBS workshop above) and discussing the ways in which all of the above could be appropriately applied to projects undertaken by APC member organisations (i.e. small NGOs). I had a great time — thanks again to everyone involved in making it happen and to all the participants for making it fun :)
One note: with the help of the APC, I've found an open source tool for creating WBS diagrams I think is quite a bit easier to use (and more powerful) than the Draw program in OpenOffice — it's called Dia, and you can grab the latest release (for Windows) here or my new template here. Enjoy!
