PROJECT MANAGEMENT

 

Project Management entails a variety of communications, controls, and tasks. Communicate between the technical and business stakeholders  Drive and control the project  Help to establish the project schedule Track and control the project schedule Risk Management Measure and document progress  Monitor and control costs  Control requirements and oversee change impact analyses  Allocate, coordinate, and monitor resources  Report on status and issues to senior management  Oversee quality assurance efforts Keep the project team focused on the project Shield the project team from distractions Program Management is a different animal.

The classic project management triangle saying is, Schedule, features, quality ... pick two.  It is the project manager's job to strive to meet all three goals. 

There are libraries full of project management books.  This site is not an attempt to summarize or put forth a new approach.  Rather, my objective is to provide my views on project management, particularly as applied in small companies, and against dynamic projects.
