For my lovely wife, Elly
Growing up, I didnt want to be a project manager. Unlike the more popular options of fireman and ballerina (and later doctor and chef), it wasnt as easy to visualize what being a project manager was all about. Since my love was for technology, I studied Computer Science and worked on everything from software engineering through to web development. It was only in the corporate world that I realized why people wanted to be project managers.
Project management is about making things happen.
Good project management is what makes the real work a success. Bad or missing project management can taint and nullify the efforts of even the most talented people. It doesnt matter how brilliant your work is if the project as a whole is twice as expensive as intended, or a year late. This is not to say that the real work isnt importantit is still the core of any project. No project manager can make mediocre work into an awesome end result. But fantastic work can be overlooked if the project management required to deliver the whole isnt there.
Like me, youve probably already realized this. Youve worked on a project or two where things went wrong at the project management level. Youve figured you could do a better job of it yourselfwhich is exactly why you bought this book! The good news is that you were right. You can do a good job of the project management. And this book will teach you how.
This book is for anyone who wants to learn enough project management to ensure their projects succeed. You wont become a world authority on the project management discipline, but you will become an effective and efficient project manager. Although some of the examples in this book focus on projects that address technological or systems-related issuesa growing industry in need of skilled project managers!the book is intended for anyone who needs to manage projects of any sort.
That said, this book wont teach you to manage the construction of the next space shuttle. For very large and very complex projects, you will probably need a few extra and more rigorous tools. Youll find some pointers to such tools in the appendices.
This chapter forms an introduction to the art and science of project management. Here, we talk about the key phases every project goes through and why project management skills are increasingly important today.
Getting StartedThis chapter covers everything from picking the right projects, and working out who needs to be involved, through to kick-starting the project itself.
Getting the Job DoneIn this chapter, we discuss the real meat of any projectplanning what needs to be done, executing the work, and controlling the project as a whole to keep things on track.
Keeping It SmoothHere, well look at communication, collaboration, and how best to deal with change. This chapter is all about the softer side of project managementthe skills that make you not just competent, but great.
Following ThroughTo wrap up, well look at whats involved in successfully finishing off your project and handing over like a superstar.
