Project Management Publications

Project Manager Today

All registered members of PROMS-G may elect to receive copies of the monthly magazine 'Project Manager Today'. Access to the new PMT members' web site gives you the ability to search archives by keyword, author, etc. and download PDFs of articles. The new web site brings together all the elements of the old web site and the member's site. It means that anyone on the site will be able to see all the material, but only registered subscribers will be able to log-in to download pdfs and get discounts. PMT will be adding about five more year's of back issues to the knowledge base, all subscribers will get 60 credits per year to 'spend' on the downloading articles. This represents the equivalent of a complete year subscription of articles but subscribers can choose material from any year in the database. The PMT monthly magazine contains the PROMS-G Official Notification Newsletter as a separate section in it each month (except August and December). Full details about applying for one of the 'Project Manager Today' magazine subscription options are available here.
