Résumé
“Everyday Project Management is a
practical guide for anyone new or needing to learn more about project
management. Unlike many other books, it does not rely on arcane concepts
and terms, and simply tells it like it is.”
—Todd C. Williams, President of eCameron, Inc., and author of Filling Execution Gaps and Rescue the Problem Project
Everyday Project Management
provides the direction you need to apply project management’s
time-tested tools for keeping things on time and under budget. It
introduces the wide variety of tasks you will have to tackle, including
assembling a team, mapping out a plan, monitoring progress, keeping your
team motivated, and using appropriate planning tools, such as project
management software or wall charts. In addition, you’ll gain a clearer
picture of the project manager’s role in the conception, planning,
execution, control, and completion of a project.
Each chapter
offers essential bite-sized nuggets of wisdom that will help you
succeed, outlining the kinds of challenges you’ll encounter, the
interpersonal issues that will arise, and ways to stay on time and on
budget in pursuit of the desired quality outcome. You’ll learn how Gantt
charts can keep your project on schedule, how the critical path method
can be used to conserve resources, and how to juggle multiple projects,
bosses, and reporting structures.
Whether you are managing one
project or many, this quick and easy guide to the tasks, tools, and
skills of project management will carry you from project launch to
project completion. Most importantly, you will learn why having a
work-life balance is vital to project managers who seek long and
prosperous careers.
