I have finished a project management class that my employer requires for most of the engineers here, and the class counts toward the PMP certification. So I started paying attention to many new things. For example, this Business Week article talks about the project management style and time allocation at Google:
Google’s managers rarely tell engineers what projects to tackle. Instead, execs keep a “Top 100″ priorities list (which today numbers more than 240 items), and engineers gravitate to issues that interest them, forming fluid working groups that can last weeks or months.
Hey, that’s smart.
