Book Description
'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.'
