#PMOT – Who are the Project Managers on Twitter to Follow?

#PMOT is the Twitter hashtag used by Project Managers on Twitter.

If you want to follow project management conversations on Twitter…
Or if you want to keep up with the latest articles, or products…

#PMOT is a good tag to follow. It’s not the only tag project managers use. Frankly it’s a bit of a blunt tool in these days where Twitter users often prefer narrower and more precise tags. And other tags like #PM, #projectmanagement, and #projectmanager are at least as widely used.

And we mustn’t forget that there are other widely used hashtags in the #PMOT community, like #Agile, #PMO, and #PMP. But, as the hook for a roundup of some of my favorite Project Managers of Twitter, #PMOT is as good as any.

This article is going to be different to most of ours.

For a start, I am going to make no claims to authority here. I am a casual Twitter user.

Like our roundup of the best Project Management blogs, any listing can only be, at best, provisional. If you are reading this and thinkings…

…all I can say is, add your details to the comments below, so I can pick them up when I do an update!

Personal Selection

A lot of project management knowledge can be objective, but a selection from the thousands of #PMOT can never be. So, I shan’t even make an attempt at objectivity. I’ll select who I select, and offer my choices to you.

But I will organize them, into the following categories:

• Unashamed Plugs for Friends
• PM Bloggers
• Organizations, Associations, and Institutes
• Project Management People
• Agilists
• PMO
• Course and Training Providers
• Software Vendors
• Miscellaneous

The descriptions are those they provide on their Twitter channel.

Unashamed Plugs for #PMOT Friends

Many of these Twitter folk can easily fit into one or more of the other categories. But I wanted to separate them out for two reasons:

1. It’s only right that I declare properly that I know these people
2. But, because I know them, I can attest to the integrity of their thinking and the services they offer

So do get out there and follow them. But only after you have followed @OnlinePMCourses!
