Restoring your Project Management Methodology

Q: I created a backup a few weeks ago, of all of the project management methodologies and data stored in this project management software. However I then went and deleted a heap of content pages yesterday and there seems to be no way of “undeleting” the content I have removed. I’ve also changes the folder structure somewhat dramatically, as well as changed a project management process that should have remained unchanged. How can I undo all of this?

A: The best way by the sounds of it is to restore your backup. Click on the Tools / Restore Content menu item and then select the backup file you took a few weeks ago. Remember that the backup file will have the suffix .pmb whichis a unique file format. Once you’ve found it, select “Open” and it will overwrite all of your existing project management methodologies included in your project software, with the backed up version.

This can be in the material that is added or the number of workers necessary to complete the task. The overall reductio...

This register will identify all of the communications events that have taken place for the project and also the communications events that are due to take place in the future. The reason for listing the communications events that are due to take place is that it provides a single place where the project manager can use and control communications to stake holders. For example the register will enable the project manager to view the status of all of the communications to date and determine whether or not the stake holders to the project are being kept in the loop and informed.

Project Methodology Documented Steps

“What is a Project Methodology and why do I need one? A Project Methodology is a series of documented steps that are undertaken to complete a project from end to end. It’s also known as a Project Life Cycle or Project Roadmap. The methodology steps you through what it is as a Project Manager that needs to be done, by whom and when.
