9781900391092: Managing Smaller Projects: A Practical Guide

Synopsis

'There is a dangerous gap in management planning and control.
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 'Managing Smaller Projects' he provides a low overhead, highly practical way of looking after small projects.
He covers all the essential skills of managing smaller projects. From project start-up, to
managing risk, quality, and change, through to controlling the project and implementing a
simple control system, Mike Watson 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.
'We all run projects' says Mike. 'The techniques in this book will let you manage them more
effectively. As a bonus, the underlying principles are fully compatible with formal project
management methods and can be integrated seamlessly into a corporate environment.'

From the Author

This book is all about helping people to control smaller projects in a logical and effective way, without incurring the high overheads that come with the project management methods, tools and techniques that are now being used so effectively on large projects and within large organisations.
The Smaller Projects (SP) Method is designed for use both by complete newcomers to project management and those with some experience. It is logical and practical so that it can be applied to a single, small project, or to a portfolio of many smaller projects within an organisation.
The danger, especially in larger organisations, is that smaller projects are left to their own devices while ignoring the fact that together they may represent a significant financial risk that is not being effectively controlled. The only safe and effective way of controlling such activities is to apply the principles of project management.
This book takes those basic principles and gives you the basis for your own project control system.
