The Project Management Pocketbook is a practical, step-by-step guide to managing a project through to completion. It looks at each key stage and identifies the management techniques that can be applied. From objective-setting through to implementation, the book stresses the importance of good communication, teamworking and influencing skills. All too often, books on this subject cover the process of project management and not the people aspects. This Pocketbook addresses both. “Project management requires a multitude of skills – from vision and planning, to monitoring, communication, leadership and, of course, delivery. This pocketbook pulls together best practice from these diverse areas into one simple, easy-to-read booklet. Refreshingly, it has been written from a general business perspective (rather than I.T.), and is therefore applicable to anyone managing change.”Adrian Guttridge, Vice President UK & Ireland, EDS “A lively guide based on real events that any of us may encounter in our everyday life at work or (as I found out after reading this) at home.”Johann de Waal, Director, International SOS Insurance Services Ltd

    This step requires:
    Setting objectives:
    collect facts, information, opinions, needs; question assumptions;
    define what’s in and what’s excluded.
    SWOT analysis:
    Strengths
    Weaknesses (present/internal factors)
    Opportunities

    Imagine you are spinning many
    plates on the end of poles. All you
    have to do is to keep all the plates
    spinning at once, or at least catch
    them when they drop!
    To do this you need to share the vision
    of the project sponsors so that you
    can help them to realise their objective.
