What’s it all about?
A Girl’s Guide to Project Management is focused on providing practical tips on managing projects in the real world.
Run for the last 20 years by Elizabeth Harrin, the author of several books and a Fellow of the Association for Project Management in the UK, the blog merges theory and practical applications into easy-to-follow advice managers can use on a daily basis.
It all began when Harrin “realised that women’s voices in project management were not being heard as often as men’s,” though through this blog, that’s definitely changed!
And while the blog still has a unique female perspective which oftentime showcases the successes of other women in the profession, the issues can appeal to anyone in PM. And especially useful for early and mid-career professionals who’re attempting to perfect the work/home balance juggling act.
What readers have to say:
“Owned by Elizabeth Harrin, a specialist in project management. A Girl’s Guide to Project Management provides a woman project manager’s perspective. She decided to start her blog journey after the realization that there were not sufficient women to write about project management.
Harrin strives to encourage people, especially women to deliver projects confidently. She gives news updates, views from her own insights and experiences as well as covers project management events.”
Shayne Sherman, CEO, Techloris

A blog of leadership run by the CEO of a 250 million publishing company. If he can do it, why not take his advice? This blog gives actionable advice and insights for busy professionals which can be incorporated into your daily lives.
What readers have to say:
“My favorite project management blog to read is Michael Hyatt and Company’s blog. It’s filled with actionable insights into project management and business in general. I really like the variety. Rather than going to a PM blog specifically and only getting PM advice, you get a whole range of advice that can be interlinked and applied to PM, business and your management style. I also just really appreciate that they’ve taken the time to design it well. I’ve found that many PM blogs are difficult to navigate which just turns me away. I can easily find the type of articles I’m looking for on this blog and can therefore capitalize on the time I dedicate to reading new content.”

Mary Beth Imbarrato began her blog in 2017, finding it a way to share her experiences and observations from working in project management and strategy circles. But putting her own unique spin on it. Saying,
“You will find that most of the project management materials available today are targeting people who want to be Project Managers. But, let’s face it, a lot of people do not want to be Project Managers. They like their ‘day job’ and just want to be successful with that project that just landed on their desk.”
Ideal for everyone from Customer Service Managers, HR Analysts, Marketing Coordinator or Logistic Specialists. Or anyone who’s being asked to lead projects, Mary Beth’s blog is there to help her audience succeed. Whatever their actual title.
