The top Project Management blogs are a great way to keep abreast of the knowledge and the latest information in the field. It is often tough to go looking for credible and regularly updated blogs and sites. I have carefully looked at these blog sites with respect to their value, update frequency and freshness of their content. This list is not just one that I am recommending for you, but one that I follow myself regularly on my Feedly RSS reader. Since I follow these blogs regularly, I will ensure that this post is regularly updated with the best of blog sites.
You can also use your regular MS Outlook at work for importing the latest content from the blogs via the RSS subscription.
Wrike blog
Wrike’s blog is an example of great – probably the best – content on Project management by a company that also has created a very popular project management tool. One of the best examples of evergreen content with tools, templates, best practices and tips shared very generously. If you want to only follow one blog on Project management, then this is it.
The blog does not have an RSS feed, so you cannot subscribe to the latest updates on a normal RSS reader. So, here are a couple of its most popular articles.
Top Posts from Wrike
Projectsmart
Projectsmart is a very well organized blog with a lot of fresh and valuable content from UK. Their categories of content covers topics from case studies to Agile project management to outsourcing and Pareto. At the top of every article, they have a drop down for categories and also for the most read articles, which I think is a brilliant way to keep you going for more content that is truly well laid out.

Deep Fried Brain Project
Interesting name for a project management blog and I like the chutzpah of its writer, Harwinder Singh. The blog is admittedly focused on PMP certification with content also for Scrum and PMI-ACP. He does share some very detailed and comprehensive articles – like say on Salience Model for Stakeholder classification – apart from latest updates on PMP certification world – like the sharing of PMBOK’s 6th edition information.

Musings on Project Management
This blog is written and managed by John Goodpasture. He is an experienced Program manager who has had a long IT PM career. That is why his wisdom nuggets, even when brief are worth readings and make you think. I find his writings as a good companion to other blogs that write on formal PM topics. So, along with the regular formal PM blogs, keep reading his wise words.

Dmitriy Nizhebetskiy runs this blog that not ony motivates beginners into a career of Project management, but is also useful for experienced project managers. As an experienced program manager, I particularly liked the way he shared real life examples for Stakeholder management.
