Helping readers complete projects on time, within budget, and according to desired quality standards, this volume provides 10 rules of successful project management, tested by thousands of managers over the last ten years. Integrating the myriad of technical and personnel aspects of team projects and task forces, it starts with a project goal and defines a planning process consisting of seven interrelated components: goals, objectives, checkpoints, activities, relationships, time, schedules. It then goes on to discuss the six key components for effective project and task force management: develop, reinforce, inform, vitalize, empower, risk-taking. Of practical value to supervisors, first- and middle- level managers, and team leaders across a wide variety of functional areas.
