We won’t dilly too long here, as we know you’ve got overly tedious things to plan, exceptionally crowded places with literally no parking space left to go, people to groan about under your breath when you see for the first time in eons. But as the last sentence clearly shows, you’re going to have a lot of subliminal thoughts trolling through your mind as well.
Not to worry. While the good folks of both Arras People and How to Manage a Camel are taking a break, we will still subliminally invade your TweetDecks and Feedburners with messages throughout the holidays. Moreover, we urge you to take advantage of the Project Management Benchmark Survey, which you can take online all through the rest of December and on to January as well.
Shape the project management climate around you with the Benchmark Survey from Arras People.

Tweeter to Watch: brown_note, better known as Craig Brown, runs betterprojects.net with little nonsense and little wasted motion or time. Better projects tends to have some compelling stuff, including his take on Project Management 3.0. His tweets often combine BP post links, conversations with elite PMOT personnel and, last Thursday, a Thought for the Day:
Value comes from relationships: If you don’t manage the relationships you won’t get value
Shameless Arras/Camel Promotion: We’re all about the Benchmark Report in this edition, but before we call it a day, please note that the survey will be up all through the holiday season and into the new decade.
