Overview

Project management is too often considered to be work done only by those called 'project managers'. Responsibility is delegated to individuals who struggle against sometimes impossible odds to bring about a successful outcome. Yet experience demonstrates that any project requires the collaboration of a great many people, including those who commission the project, those who finance it, those who carry it out and those who use the end product. All of those who have a stake in the success of the project must play their part with skill, sensitivity and, if the investment in the project is to pay off, with a clear understanding of the roles of the others involved and what together they are seeking to achieve. This guide describes how to manage a project and how to ensure that the whole organisation can contribute to its success. It will be of interest to a wide audience and of particular value to project managers and project team leaders as well as the senior managers responsible for new and continuing projects.
