In the past few years, project managers have started to establish blogs, and more than a handful have gained a following by mixing the professional and the personal, advice and anecdotes.

Pete Behrens was a software project manager for more than 15 years, specializing in agile methodology and process. He’s now a full-time consultant with Colorado-based TrailRidge Consulting. Just over a year ago, when he formed his own consultancy, Behrens started the Agile Executive Blog. “This is a way to get my voice out there and build credibility beyond just putting up a marketing webpage,” he says.
