Get to a New Level with Effective Project Management
If you are a freelance software developer with ambition and are planning to take your business to a new professional level you must look out for ways of developing strong project management skills. Effective project management will help structure and optimize your development time and establish new quality benchmark for your work. There’s plenty of information on project management available in a variety of forms - articles, books, audio tutorials, video guides, courses, workshops. The opportunities for self education are vast enough and if your learning is backed by immediate practice - your chances of becoming a self-bred PM guru are almost 100%.
Before you strat any learning and dive into the ocean of information here are a few tips on improving your current project management process (you have it already … even if you think you have none):
1. Get a simple industry specific project management software. How to find one? You can google for it or turn to the best PM software for a freelance developer I have ever come across - Easy Projects .NET.
2. Facilitate communication with your client and co-developers (if there are any) by using web conferencing like MegaMeeting.com - this means staying on the edge of modern internet communication technologies.
3. Network with other developers and fellow service-providers (like SEOs for instance) to build strong professional community and further use it for working on larger projects. This is the model some of the best web development companies and internet marketing companies were using in their early days.
As you read more on project management you will see many new ways of getting your work organized and your success predictable and recurrent.
