A project is an organized method for reaching specific goals and planned benefits within a target schedule and defined budget. The challenge of managing projects is to combine the technology of the future with lessons from the past. The authors provide a modern, proven approach to project management. Properly applied without massive administrative overheads, project management can supply structure, focus, and control to drive work to success. Each chapter contains guidelines and steps to take next. An example of a common modern project is included across chapters. The method used is based on the following themes – collaboration, new Technologies, lessons learned, templates, high-level structure and detailed flexibility, issues and risks and multiple project management.
