Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

There are 100 books on the market that help explain how to write your Web pages, whether or not you knew what a Web page was before you opened the book. And there are a hundred books explaining how to run a successful project, outlining the aim and how to make sure you get yourself and your business to your destination on time and on budget. There are very few books, however, that help explain the need to project-manage a Web site and very few business books whatsoever that do their explaining as clearly and as elegantly as Ashley Friedlein's Web Site Project Management.

Project management is aggressively raising its profile in a context whereby new working practices force new ways of working on all managers. Project-based working has become a reality for all of us and technical managers particularly know that the cutting-edge computer know-how of staff is not, by itself, enough to ensure the successful resolution of a job of work. Web Site Project Management shows that the complexities of creating and delivering a commercial Web site can be overcome and in clean, direct prose walks the reader through the stages to completion. Friedlein outlines the attributes of a good project manager, explaining the scope and challenges of the role. He outlines a Web project method ("the framework for making decisions about the project") and goes into the different stages of the site project from clarification, definition and specification on to content, design, launch and maintenance. This could well prove to be invaluable. --Mark Thwaite

4.0 out of 5 stars Good project management practice in a new context, 11 April 2001

By A Customer

Good project management practice doesn't change with the advent of new technologies. Therefore, many of the fundamental principles underlying this book should be second nature to any project manager with more than a couple of years experience. Where the book scores is in 2 areas:

1. Setting these principles in the context of the new kind of projects which the web makes possible. This benefits project managers (like me!) who have managed software developments before but need a view of how to apply their experience.

2. Introducing good project management principles to people who have arrived at the 'manage a website development' role by other routes.

Overall, a good summary of how to approach the job. But it does worry me slightly that some people think the book is a blinding revelation of how to manage a project - how have they been doing the job before?

4.0 out of 5 stars UK-focused, real-world insight from a real PM, 14 April 2001

By	dan@docushop.co.uk (London) - See all my reviews

This was a good purchase: He has launched Channel5.com with a TV producers background, and it is good to see how he translated his skills across. Also, it is UK-focused and very much this-is-what-I-did. Lovely. Not too long either, very detailed, lots of lists and bullets - "scannable".

5.0 out of 5 stars Someone else's hindsight is VERY valuable, 21 Jan 2001

By A Customer

Having just reached the final stages as a contractor on a mammoth commerical site I can echo Ashley's recommendations in this excellent book.

Whether you are a designer, a manager, 'The Client' or a programmer, please buy this book, READ IT and save everyone a lot of hassle.

Set limits on the client - project manage properly - be real about the whole project and document thoroughly. I was the designer on our project and was shunted all over the shop. With Ashley's book in my hand I would have been able to tell the managers, programmers and clients where to go. Very, very much an indispensible read. The Dilbert cartoons are spot on too!
