About this title

Synopsis

Large and small projects have different administrative requirements – do they? Most organisations are small and medium-sized, and so are their projects. The same is true with project management in education. Yet, most formal project management training and certification is related to large, comprehensive project management frameworks such as PMBOK or PRINCE2. This book bridges the gap between the administrative requirements of managing a small project whilst being able to scale up the project management effort for a more significant undertaking.The Scalable Project Management method addresses two questions: (1) what do you need to do to systematically manage a small project and (2) how do you scale the project management administration to be the right proportion for your project? Contemporary project management methods provide you with the tools to determine resources, schedule and the goals of your next project. Not so for the process of project management itself - here the conclusion is merely: It takes as long as it takes. How much technical project management admin do you really need? The starting point for this Scalable Project Management book is the desire to minimise the amount of dedicated project management admin activities and maximise the share of actual work towards the desired project outcome. Based on the concept of rolling wave planning as applied many times in project management already, in this book it is also used for the process of planning project management itself. In combination, this all leads to a Scalable Project Management model with the key objective to dedicate for instance 90% of the working time towards the actual project deliverables and only 10% towards project management administrative activities.
