Maconomy, a provider of business solutions for professional service companies, has released the newest version of its project management software.

The latest release, Maconomy X, is designed and developed specifically for management, engineering and creative consultancies, and will enable these businesses to manage, monitor and bill for the hours worked by consultants on client projects more efficiently and effectively.

As a result, Maconomy X gives more time to ensure deadlines are met, increases focus on quality and improves results, according to a press release.

Method123 Project Management Methodology (MPMM) has provided a complete project management methodology from end-to-end.

According to a press statement on 24-7, it will help project managers deliver projects by successfully undertaking the project management phases: initiation, planning, execution and closure. By gaining the knowledge contained within the product and using the template and case study tools, project managers will be able to deliver projects faster and more efficiently than ever before.

To respond to the need for advanced education in three of the nation`s fastest growing fields, Capella University has announced its School of Business and Technology will be offering specialisations in project management, IT management and healthcare management through its online MBA programme.

The new specialisations will be offered beginning with the online university`s July 2006 quarter. Project management is one of the most sought-after skills in organisations today, reports a press release on PR Newswire.

In a 2006 survey by the Society for Information Management, skills related to project management and overall business capabilities represented eight of the top 10 IT skills businesses felt were critical to keep in-house.
