PMO Notebook has information for Program Managers, Project Managers, Scrum practitioners and PMO Leaders.

My focus last year was The Effective Program Manager series - these 12 articles cover topics for new Program Directors and Program Managers, as well as information on advanced topics for those with significant experience.   These articles cover methods for delivering business value and outstanding program outcomes (these are a passion of mine), techniques for developing a strong understanding of yourself, your business partners and the program team, and the importance and nuances of working with executive stakeholders.  (These articles won't cover the basics of planning, monitoring execution, reporting and such - that information is widely available elsewhere.). A few of those articles are highlighted immediately below, and the full index appears here.

I've recently refreshed my article on The Daily Stand-Up Meeting - A Core Practice for Self-Managing Teams.  This has updated information and guidance on conducting and participating in effective team coordination and planning events.
