		<description>You are quite welcome Nirmal. I&#039;m pleased to hear you found it of value.

I&#039;d suggest, since you are interested in project management, that you check out the Project Management Institute (www.PMI.org) and join both PMI and your PMI Local Chapter. There are also online communities of practice in nearly every interest area and industry you can think of!

Good luck!

Best,
Gina</description>

		<description>Hi Hamide,

I wouldn&#039;t recommend focusing so much on software to manage projects.  Certainly the software will support your efforts - but I would suggest you focus on the practical use of project management and worry about software later.  There are many templates available to document your projects.  Check out the templates link on my site to download some templates you may find of value, along with some samples of those templates in use.  Additionally, as a beginner, I would certainly recommend you join your local Project Management Institute Chapter (one in your area) - lots of great educational opportunities and networking opportunities.  See PMI&#039;s website at &lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot;  href=&quot;http://www.PMI.org.&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.PMI.org&lt;/a&gt;.  Additionally, as a member of PMI (definitely join if you haven&#039;t already) - you&#039;ll find lots of resources to help you in your start as a project manager.  Once you join the chapter by you, ask your fellow members software they are using in their jobs.  You&#039;ll find this way what is common software in use in your area for managing projects.  But again, don&#039;t focus on the software as much as applying the skills.  

Hope you find this helpful!

		<description>Hello Jeifei,

So glad you are finding what you read of value to you as you pursue what will certainly be an interesting and exciting career in project management!  I might suggest you consider joining a local PMI chapter as you will find the experience of networking with other project managers - at all levels - of value.  Check out PMI&#039;s website at: http://www.PMI.org for valuable information and links to chapters in your area.

Thanks for reading!  

Best,
Gina</description>

		<description>Hello Sameer,

I agree.  It is important to get the virtual team together with the internal team so that they get to know each other. This makes it easier for the team to work together more effectively as they develop a level of comfort.

Thanks for your comment!
