¡Bienvenido al nuevo foro del Merlin Project!

Después de que enterráramos el foro de Google con la versión 2 de Merlin hace mucho tiempo, nuestra atención se centró en Xing y LinkedIn hasta ahora. Ahora que Xing ha cancelado su foro sin reemplazo y que el foro de LinkedIn no está realmente vivo, hemos decidido volver a poner en marcha nuestro propio foro.

El nuevo foro ofrece una plataforma de fácil uso en la que los usuarios de Merlin Project pueden relacionarse entre sí y compartir conocimientos. Hacer preguntas, dar sugerencias y aprender de otros usuarios experimentados. Todo ello de forma gratuita, ¡por supuesto!

El nuevo foro es fácil de navegar y ofrece una gran variedad de funciones, incluida una función de búsqueda que le permitirá encontrar rápidamente las respuestas a sus preguntas. Además, puede personalizar su perfil, hacer un seguimiento de sus mensajes y conectar directamente con otros usuarios.

Esperamos unir aún más a nuestra comunidad con este nuevo foro y ofrecerle un apoyo y unos recursos más completos. No dude en pasarse por aquí y ¡forme parte de una comunidad en constante crecimiento!

Friday Again Already?

In the last time it happens again regularly that I ask myself at the latest on Friday around noon the question; "Friday noon, where is this week already again"? Yes, I really ask myself this question in this form. And not as the universally quoted TGIF - "Thank God is Friday"; because I like to work! So my motto is IIFRA - "Is it Friday really again?" ;-)

So now I'm taking some time to review selected topics of the last week. Maybe I'll be able to slow down the pace a bit... or what's the consultant term for that: "deceleration".

PM Camp Hamburg

Finally, the preparations for the „biggest class reunion of German-speaking project managers" (I like to quote myself) are underway. After a few attempts sabotaged by Covid-19, a new orga team has now been found, which has already found a place and a date:

On May 19 and 20, 2023, the PM Camp will
take place on the premises of ISM Hamburg.

More details will follow very soon. Until then, block the date in your schedule. I will definitely be there!

What Particularly Caught Our Eye

The Internet, endless expanses. We are on a permanent knowledge journey and always discover new things, but also old things anew. In our focus are topics around management - especially of projects, Apple and its hardware as well as software, but also special like software development or software distribution. We choose websites very subjectively and mostly in the context of our mission.
