Budget overruns. Material shortages. Unexpected delays. Too much overtime and too little profit. If you have ever been frustrated by any of these all too common problems - this book is a godsend. The Secrets of Successful Project Management is the definitive guide to trouble-free and profitable project management. Unlike most project management books that only deal on a theoretical level, it applies the basic principles of project management through a case study of a construction project. Together with "how-to" planning skills and tools, this ongoing case gives you the chance to see project management theory "in action". The book provides easy-to-follow steps on constructing bar charts, critical path network diagrams, documentation matrices, workflows and project history files. It also explains in laymen's terms how to encourage effective communications, track costs and monitor schedule progress. Written particulary for small to medium-sized businesses that have little or no knowledge of project management but need to learn more, the book discusses how to complete projects on schedule and under budget, inspire new levels of employee productivity, and slash hours of excess time and worry from every project. Checklists, diagrams, and illustrative charts make learning even the most complex material much easier. Over 40 project-specific forms give managers the necessary tools to organize a project smoothly from beginning to end, solve problems, adapt the proven methods of experts, and map out a system of winning project management strategies.
