Managing Smaller Projects
Author(s): Mike Watson
Ref: ISBN 1-900391-09-0
'So called "small projects" can have potentially alarming consequences if they go wrong, but their control is often left to chance.'
The solution, says Mike Watson, is to adapt well tried and tested project management techniques. In this book he provides a low overhead, highly practical way of looking after small projects.
He covers all the essential skills. From project start-up, to managing risk, quality, and change, through to controlling the project and implementing a simple control system, he cuts through the jargon of project management. He provides a framework that is as useful to those lacking formal training, as it is to those who are skilled project managers and want to control smaller projects without the burden of bureaucracy.
'Mike Watson provides a very practical and logical framework to the management of small projects . . . it is practical and entertaining . . . in an area neglected by writers and practitioners alike . . . This book most definitely fills the gap' Dr. Chris Preece, University of Leeds.
'Its small format means you can take this book anywhere and use it as a check guide . . . and simply put, this book is about helping people control smaller projects in a logical and effective way, and making the process run smoothly, and is indeed a success in achieving that goal.' Keri Allan, IEE Engineering Management, Dec/Jan 2004/05.
