The final stop on this month’s tour of your profession’s magazine is the “feature well,” to use publishing terminology. It is here that you can read the long-form articles that PM Network is most known for—and also enjoy some of our award-winning graphic treatments.

Generally, PM Network’s feature well will contain one or two case studies, going into detail of how challenging projects succeeded beyond expectations. At this time of year, PM Network starts running extensive profiles our Project of the Year and PMO of the Year finalists. Watch for that beginning in November.

Features also usually include an article focusing on the people skills so essential to the profession. Whether it is handling conflict, knowing what to do when there is turnover on your team, or the elements of smart decision making, we have you covered.

Trends in project management get plenty of detailed ink here as well. For example, as agile approaches (and agile organizations) continue to take off, you will see more and more on that subject.

Periodically, the magazine will spotlight one country and detail the project environment in that place. Singapore is covered this month.

In October PM Network, you can also read feature articles on telecommunications transforming in reaction to huge increases in data consumption; how to handle disagreements; and quick summaries of all the PMO of the Year finalists (longer case studies will begin in December). And there is a case study on a 14-year project to build a Baha’i temple in an earthquake-prone location in Chile.

It’s time to start looking forward to our most popular feature of the year, in terms of online visits: The 2018 Jobs Report. If your new year’s resolution is to find a new job, mark early January on your calendar. That’s the month the report will come out in PM Network.

Thanks for coming on our tour! We hope to see you again soon.
