It summarizes five useful websites: PMI.org which contains career resources, standards, white papers, and information on virtual communities; Gantthead.com which provides project templates; RMC Project Management which offers templates and FAQs; Project Connection which is an intuitive site for templates; and IIBA.org which is relevant for business analysis professionals.
