Hi All,

Does anyone know any free websites that teaches the basics of Project Management.

Thanks for any info.

Hello Munther,

Check out

http://www.pmi.org

and

http://www.4pm.com

both these sites offer a wealth of information. If you are looking for Web project management try

http://www.shorewalker.com

If you are looking for MS Project 2000 follow this link

Storyteller,

These sites don't teach anything about Project Management...they are selling their courses...and the Microsoft site is for information about the Microsoft Project software.

Hello backoffice,
Fair enough.

However, the

http://www.pmi.org

site is essentially the defacto starting point for Project Management.

The other suggestion I would have for munther is to use a search engine like

http://www.google.com

and search for "Free Project Management Training" and see what comes up.

Good Luck,

Hi Munther,

Try the following:

http://www.tenstep.com/90.2 Site Map.htm.

It is a full-blown methodology on PM. Quite good.

In addition, join

http://www.techrepublic.com

(free) and subscribe to the appropriate newsletter(s).

Do the same at

http://www.gannthead.com

and become a free Lite member and get their free newsletter, full of tips.

Hope these help.
Good luck.

I can't quibble with pmi.org being cited as the holy grail, but can't believe no one has mentioned pmboulevard.com's PowerPoint presentations. Yeah, I know you have to "register" to use the free materials, but they're the best quick and dirty "get up to speed" references I've found.

There are so many good sites on the internet, but nothing can teach project management like hands on experience. I have never seen a project yet that didn't take some creative management to get through the hurdles. The following web link has three overview classes you can look through, the other have some good information or forms that might help you get through a project and the last one is an area I found while studying for my PMP that can help you test your knowledge, but cost $30 a test.
