2020-ci ildə o vaxt notlarımı qeyd etmək üçün istifadə etdiyim Evernote-dan indi istifadə etdiyim Notion-a keçdim. İlk yaratdığım səhifələrdən biri “PM Related” səhifəsi oldu. Burada fərqli istiqamətləri kateqoriyalaşdırdım və səhifəyə oxuduğum, baxdığım, istifadə etdiyim, faydasını gördüyüm linkləri əlavə etdim.

Yuxarıdakı hər kateqoriyanın içində də fərqli bölgülər var.

Bu gün qarşıma qoyduğum məqsədlərdən birinə çatdığım üçün, 2 il ərzində “PM articles” səhifəsində toplanan bütün linkləri, bəlkə kimsə oxumaq istəyər deyə, aşağıda paylaşıram.

P.S: Siyahı həddindən artıq uzun olduğundan və 2 il ərzində yığıldığından bəzi linklər işləməyə, bəziləri təkrarlana bilər. Uzun sözün qısası, çatışmazlıq varsa, şərhdə qeyd edərsiniz, please, yeniləyərəm.
