For so many months I’ve been thinking and looking for a tool that would let me manage my activity as a researcher; firstly I looked into documental management systems and knowledge management systems, however, I always ended up doing nothing.
This idea was taken to life again during my last conversation with Pau Rausell-Köster, and how universities were starting to apply more advanced systems to the research activity (Research Management).

So, hands on!, a little bit of this plus a sprinkle of that and…, taking a look to the proposal of Julen Iturbe (Consultoría Artesana en la Red - Handcrafted Consulting in the Network), we can adapt a little bit the concept of Consulting 2.0 to obtain Research 2.0 (trendy too much, but mates, I’ve never been from the group that extends the knowledge frontier, but from the one that fills the gap - I’ve taken this idea from a conversation I had years ago with a professor called Jose Ramon Ruiz Tamarit).

So, in the words of Julen, “a project, a wiki”.

Since it seems I have very poor project management skills I’m introducing myself into the very interesting field of “project management“.

In the meantime, check this out: GanttProject. I think is a very good tool.

Soon!, Project Management!

Keep on touch!!!

No, I’m not talking about computer operating systems, I’m talking about real life.

I have noticed I’m quite a disorganised guy, with quite a lot of things on my head, quite a lot of things on my hands, quite a few projects to achieve… Hey! Someone has said “projects”?.

Yes, that’s the theme of today’s post: “Project Management”, that blessing that will help us to get the dots on the i’s and… so on.

But beware, you software junkies! Project management is more that a tool, it’s a philosophy. If you start messing around with the soft just because you have it and think is going to take you to heaven… wrong!!!. You’ve been warned.
