Well, it probably won't play YouTube video or be able to run Google Spreadsheet. It's for the simple web (simple being a meliorative here, in the spirit of the Gemini project that this TUI browser supports).
More specifically: it is aimed at read-only web. YouTube videos can be downloaded with yt-dlp. There probably is something for downloading spreadsheets into CSV, but nothing to interact.
Yes, I think it's still relevant. It doesn't adapt all of the project management jargon from the certifications, though. I read this 5 or 6 years ago and I learned a lot.
I didn't realize how large the blog has become. https://scottberkun.com/2012/how-to-make-things-happen/ is where to start to see if you want to read the book. Basically it boils down to: make a list, prioritize the list, execute the list.
There is a lot more to project management than that. For example, how do you present the list? How do you negotiate the list? What happens if you're working on a project with a lot of tech debt and other half finished work that needs to be brought back on track. I don't know if this book talks about that, and I don't really know of any books that goes beyond the very basics or deal with projects that aren't trivial.
Project management is vast. What are you interested in learning more about? Are you interested in agile or waterfall? I'd recommend reading the original "waterfall" paper from Royce from the 70s [1]. I think it's still relevant and helps to dispel "waterfall." For scrum, I'd recommend the HBR article from the 80s [2].
Are you looking for articles on Gantt charts, PERT charts, WBS, critical path. You can look at the PMP book.
Are you looking for stories on projects? I haven't read them, but The Phoenix Project is recommended on HN a bit.
For podcasts, I listen to the Digital Project Manager and PM Happy Hour.
Wow thank you so much for all these great resources! I think I’ll start with the article you shared. Also, I guess this is me being ignorant, but it’s amazing how vast the PM field is. Excited to dive in. I will most likely be reading all of the materials you’ve share with me.
Also, I checked your profile! I wish I knew your Twitter handle or some other ways to keep in touch somehow. But oh well! I won’t push for it.
Yup! I’ve seen them both. It really is a grind to get to the point where something actually sticks. The biggest skill I think I need is just shipping really fast
Systems engineering is actually an overloaded term and that Wikipedia article is correct. The author’s definition is also correct of course. Just talking about different things.
What I thought hilarious, when the author was describing a series of tools that were maintained for a long period of time.. that was the complex system. No attempts were made to reduce the complexity, because the cost was not worth the increased value. Maybe that specific part, realizing the business driver of systems, is what makes a Systems Engineer.
And even though your specific application won't EOL, there are many times where features are deprecated and that complex system must be altered. Maybe I'm just grizzled in my old age, but it seems like this author was writing about Systems Engineering while claiming not to know what it is..
