Product Description
Product Description
We are all faced with projects going off the rails, veering far from what we initially set out to do, costing ten times as much and taking far too long to complete - this is just part of everyday working life. Honing our general skills in project management seems like the obvious answer, but Fast Projects promises a quicker and easier solution - cutting the time to get projects done in the first place.
Learning to operate within a short schedule not only cuts costs and improves revenue and cash flow, but it also sets you aside as a sharper and slicker operation. How to build, shorten and execute a realistic plan in the shortest time possible is covered in detail along with a specific focus on ensuring you have clearly defined goals and are making accurate project predictions with a successful tracking progress.
Using worked examples and tried and tested techniques, Fast Projects is your practical guide to ensuring projects not only succeed, but are delivered early. If you want to get the most out of your team and take control of your workload, resources and time, this book is for you.

Customer Reviews
I read the whole book on a flight home after an intense day of project planning and it kept my attention for the whole journey, has stayed fresh next morning, and it still makes sense now.
There isn't a claim for guru status, there isn't a recommendation that you must do something particular, or use a particualr piece of software. This literally takes you through the basics in an accessible way that doesn't patronise experienced project managers.
The '12 reasons for project failure' will make any project manager smile and want to read more, and it does actually give you real ways to avoid these 12 pitfalls.
It is cheap, cheerful and I think every project manager should have a copy.
It's quick to read, sparing of extraneous information, yet thorough.
If additions to a project are made after you've begun, you have only three choices:
1) Deliver the project late
2) Use the contingency you built in at the start
3) Work longer hours to get the project done
It's wisdom like this that may seem obvious, yet set down on paper by an experienced project manager and alongside dozens of similar observations, is empowering.
If you want a fast introduction to what project management is essentially about, I recommend this.
