[WebPub] FW: lynda.com January 2012 newsletter

Fri Jan 13 15:17:53 EST 2012

Good afternoon,
I'm forwarding along a section of the New Releases section of this month's lynda.com newsletter. Amongst the usual releases of web & design courses, they are also coming out with new developer courses in Java, Jumbla, HTML5, and others. Also, a course on SEO (search engine optimization) might be of interest. From a business standpoint, there are courses in Project Management and Marketing. From an HR perspective there' s a new one called "Invaluable: Unlocking Your Abilities" about personal and career development.
I hope you are able to take advantage of the new "My Training" menu and learning profile features released to the MIT community on January 5, 2012. We'll be having an IAP presentation on these features Thursday, Jan. 19 from 11-12:00am at Stata 32-124. You can also learn more from the FAQ<http://ist.mit.edu/services/training/lynda> on our web page.
Please feel free to forward this on to others who might be interested. Questions, ideas, let me know.

Thanks,
Mark

Testimonials of the month

Best $25 I spend
Just two months ago, I became unemployed and knew I needed to spend money to get myself to the "next" level. This $25 was the best I could have ever spent! I have spent hours relearning things I had forgotten and solidifying my confidence in what I do know. You simply might have saved my life-and I mean that most sincerely.
-Claudia W.

Thanks for transcripts
Your site has given me an amazing renewal of long-lost inspiration not only for learning but also for being creative. I feel I have my creativity back for the first time in many, many years. This is no small thing! I can't thank you all enough.

Tip of the month

[Tip of the Month]<http://click.e.lynda.com/?qs=e85a54081b29fb5b28b57358b6f79c3350b77582a2b59188e0b8fcb5ef29481f>

There are five major processes of project management.

The five processes of project management from Project Management Fundamentals

Organizing a project into separate, defined steps can make a seemingly daunting task run smoothly and efficiently. The Project Management Institute categorizes project management into five major processes:

Initiating
Initiating is all about the getting the commitment to start a project. Basically, we answer the questions what problem are we solving? and how are we going to solve this problem?

Planning
The planning stage is where you figure out how you're going to perform the project. We answer the questions what is our plan? and how will we know when you're done?

Executing
Now it's time to put your plan into action. The executing process starts with launching a project. You bring your people onboard, introduce them to one another, get them settled in, and explain the rules you'll use to run the project.

Monitoring & controlling
Monitoring and controlling a project is your ongoing responsibility to see if a project is going according to plan, and if it isn't, you work out ways to get it back on track.

Closing
The closing process is short, but important. In this step, you get the client to accept that the project is complete. You document the project performance, gather lessons learned, close contracts, and help resources move on to their next assignments.

By organizing your project into separate, definable processes, you'll be better equipped to evaluate where you are in a project, what other resources you need, and how close you are to completing your project.
