The newsletter, which was introduced to the project community in 2005, has experienced high growth. Currently, more than 2500 people join the newsletter each week, making it also the fastest growing newsletter in the project management industry. The newsletter is offered in additional to the project management templates made available at Method123.com
"We're amazed at how well our bi-weekly newsletter is going" says Craig Nicholson, Technical Director for Method123 Ltd. "It seems that our focus on providing real advice for a project manager is paying off".
The newsletter focuses on informing project managers of the pitfalls in project management and it offers advice and guidance for avoiding those pitfalls. Initially offered to Project Managers as a free project management tool, the newsletter has become more of an industry standard for the provision of project management advice. Many other companies are now following the model of offering free advice to Project Managers.
"The difference between our and other newsletters in the industry is that it's free. It has no advertising, it has no consulting speak and it is written by industry expert Jason Westland" says Nicholson.
Jason Westland is the founder of Method123.com and recently released the best selling title "The Project Management Life Cycle" published by Kogan Page. "Few project managers are able to consistently deliver projects on time and under budget" says Jason Westland, interviewed for this press release. "Managers and teams are constantly under pressure to produce a solid set of deliverables, in a changing business environment. By advising them of the challenges that they can expect and how to overcome those challenges, we hope to boost project management success around the world".
The newsletter covers such topics as; 'How to manage project risk', 'Leading high performing teams' and 'How to turn around failing projects'. Westland has a wealth of experience that he is willing to share, through his newsletter recipient base. Over the next 12 months, Method123 plan to release a suite of project management template products that support the newsletter and help project managers to boost their project productivity.
One such product recently released is the MPMM Project Management Methodology. This methodology allows project managers and teams to follow a consistent project management process, delivering projects in a step-by-step fashion. Within the first 6 months, MPMM sold licenses around the globe to more than 50 countries. MPMM has already become the market leader in the project management methodology space.
Method123 are a New Zealand based company who have expanded into the US, Europe and the South Pacific to try and support customers locally. They are currently building a new project management software solution that they believe will revolutionize the project management industry. Although few details are publicly available, Method123 are perfectly positioned to release such a product as they now have a large percentage of their market captured through their regular newsletter.
"The next 12 months are incredibly exciting for us here at Method123 Ltd" says Nicholson. "We're building a suite of new products that greatly simplify the management of projects. The new products are using the latest technologies such as AJAX, to allow project managers to enter information and extract reports more simply. And thanks to the thousands of newsletter recipients that helped us determine exactly what it is that project managers want and need, we believe that the tool set will be another great success."
