Project Managers Find Tips, Tools, and Community at gantthead.com

Launched in March of 2000, gantthead.com was developed by IT project managers for IT project managers—that often overlooked but critical population in today's high-tech world. Less than a year later, gantthead, based in Fairfax, Va., has grown to more than 50,000 members, making it the largest and most vital community of IT project managers on the Web—or anywhere else.

What brings project managers to gantthead is a wealth of information and resources that aren't available anywhere else. Subject matter experts in a variety of topics—Process Improvement, Project Management, Customer Relationship Management, Knowledge Management, Workforce Management, E-commerce, Distributed Applications, Business Intelligence, and Program Management Office—offer insight and advice from their own experiences as project managers, and lead discussions among gantthead members. There is also a full library of useful deliverable templates, full project plans, checklists, and articles for gantthead members to access. Plus, every member gets personalized news headlines, book reviews, searchable tools listings—everything for project managers of all levels and project types.

While all of these resources are reason enough for tens of thousands to congregate in the gantthead community, there is even more practical value to be found there. The gantthead site offers complete processes designed to work within popular IT project management tools, such as TeamPlay and PlanView. Featuring the james martin + co processes, gantthead's process library is an industry-respected and proven methodology built on 20 years of IT experience. The process library integrates with gantthead's department structure and provides members with complete processes—to the task level—in several important IT areas such as distributed application development, Web/intranet development, package selection, data warehousing, and Siebel implementation. High levels of the processes are accessible to all gantthead members; lower levels are available with paid memberships.

The mission of gantthead is simple: to make project managers and their projects more successful. Basic membership in gantthead is free. Premium and Corporate membership programs are available for project managers who desire more in-depth support and access to the process library for their projects and teams. For more information, call 877-895-6506 or visit www.gantthead.com.
