Bantter BlogProject Management is one of the most popular work roles in the world, given that there are Project Managers in almost every industry. Most have been educated and trained in their fields, and then keep themselves up-to-date by actively following influential project management blogs, reports, industry journals, online publications, events, and conferences.
