Life is complicated. If we can simplify the job of getting things
done, the better off we usually are. This is particularly important
in managing projects. In this book, Gary (Gazza) tackles the
complexity of managing projects by breaking the essential
components of Project Management down into practical, simple
concepts. Whether you simply have an interest in Project Management
or are already managing them, this book has something for you.
For most people, we remember things best when they are
accompanied by music, or are part of a story. While there is no
musical score to this book, there are plenty of project management
lessons wrapped in entertaining stories to help the concepts stick.
Featuring popular episodes from Gazza's Corner blog and all-new
content, this book addresses the four main stages of typical
projects: Initiation/Planning, Execution, Closeout and Project
Control.
