Welcome to SdB+ Forum

If you are an experienced manager then you know how hard it can be to find other managers to talk with. Sometimes it's such a relief to find someone else who even understands what you mean when you say "scope" and you're not taliking about submarines. Other times you just need to ask a question, but don't know where you can find an answer.

Well, you can ask questions and find answers here. We're an international group of managers who love to talk about project, service or audit management. Our membership encompasses the globe - that's why we use it as our symbol.

We ask questions, pose theories, express opinions, share experience - and so much more. All in the comfort and security of the SdB+ Forum.

The SdB+ Forum is like a club - a place for people with the shared bond of managing projects. Instead of eating a fine meal, we read other members' posts. Smoking a good cigar is replaced with writing posts for other members to read.

SdB+ Forum was founded in May, 2005, by Serge de Bock, PMP, ITIL. Serge had a vision of a place where experienced managers – from all over the world – could discuss project management.

Starting with a group using the free services offered by Yahoo!, Serge also wanted this group of project managers to be networkers. So he required that the members also belong to LinkedIn – an online networking group with free membership available.

Serge’s original goal was to have 60 members in the group. As the membership numbers flew past that goal, Serge realised how many experienced project managers needed a place to talk about their passion – management.
