Welcome to the February 2009 edition of PM World Today. Since 1998, PM World Today has been a leading online source of educational and informative articles and stories about project management. As the global reach of this online publication grows, we continue to seek new authors who want to share knowledge or advance their careers. If you have project management knowledge (or a story) to share, please send an article for publication. We are especially interested in those that contribute to solving global problems.

Each month the Editor’s Perspective on the Current Edition provides a short overview of the contents of the current edition of PM World Today. This month’s edition again contains articles, news and stories from around the world of project management (PM), including several in Spanish. PM World Today is an educational resource for PM professionals. It is also a service for PM experts, leaders and professionals who want to share knowledge, get published or gain more visibility in the PM world.

This month's Editorial is entitled “Project Managementand Accountability: How Professional Program & Project Management can help Improve Accountability in Business and Government.”  Professional project management can and does improve accountability.  When best practices are used, full accountability can be achieved, dramatically improving both performance and governance at all levels.  This alone is reason enough for the public to insist on better PM on publicly funded programs and projects.  It is also why more shareholders should insist on professional PM in the private sector.  Please read the editorial and consider whether this is worth passing on to others.
