Project Management Book

The project management book that is being offered free from my sponsor is there to assist project managers with the arduous task of creating a project plan that is successful. This is a step by step set of instructions on how to properly manage your project to the successful conclusion of producing a deliverable for your business.

The project management book is proprietary content but is being offered to help anyone who needs this assistance with a free tool. That is one of the things discussed in this book of knowledge, how to properly use the tools a manager has on hand to their fullest potential.

One of the most useful tools discussed in the project management book is the project management templates. These are preformatted documents that are very useful guides to properly prepare the necessary documents that will be needed when the project is in its execution phase.

The project management book is more than just how to use the templates to make schedules. There is the formulation of how and why the different parts of a project plan must be created. The explanation of why each component is necessary for the big picture of a successful project is revealed. Each part of a plan must be in place so the delays of a project can be kept at a minimum.

The project management book is like a set of instructions for building a project from the ground up. There are those that take a child’s Christmas gift and attempt to assemble it without the aid of the included instructions. Though completion may also be possible, time is wasted in most cases because steps are done out of order. The same is true with this guide to help the project manager go through the proper procedure in the correct order, so less time is spent on preparation and more time is then allowed for the execution of the project.

Not everyone will think they need to follow what the project management book has to offer. The fact remains the same, it can never hurt to have a reference or help in the complex construction of a project for your company. Time is money.

The type of companies that can best utilize the lean methodology approach is manufacturing, because of the principles involved with it.

Communications Register

Under what situations should I create a Communications Register for my project ? For small, medium and large projects you should always implement a Communications Register. 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.

Branding Your Project

Branding is a more sophisticated form of marketing communication. The purpose of branding a project is to associate an emotion or a feeling with your project. This is exactly what marketing people try to do when they brand a product. For instance, The Coca-Cola Company hopes that you feel good about its products and that you will choose its products from a crowded store shelf because you like the image and emotion associated with it. Maybe it works. The purpose of branding a project is to associate a positive image and emotion with your work. This is not something most projects need to be concerned about. However, ask yourself some questions regarding the impact your project will have on the organization. Does it impact a large number of people or maybe the entire company? Will it require a culture change or a change in the way people do their job? Will your project make people nervous or afraid? For instance, will it result in efficiencies so that less people are required to do
