More and more organizations are realizing the benefits that project work can bring to their company. Specific projects offer employees the chance to become more involved in their work, to be stimulated by the greater variety and sense of achievement, as well as the opportunity to develop new skills. Yet, as the authors show in their book, project work has numerous potential pitfalls. Many of these can be avoided by the careful and systematic planning of a project. The authors enable people in organizations to plan their projects using the latest planning techniques. Packed with outlines of quick and easy planning methods, case histories, diagrams and charts, the text will guide readers planning methods, including brainstorming and high-level overview planning; setting up the master plan; preparing sub-plans; gaining and retaining commitment to the plan; building a flexible document; estimating and contingency planning; and planning as part of the quality process.
