ABSTRACT

The ideal introduction to project management, I believe, is to start at the bottom, managing a job that requires either just your effort or your giving work instructions to one other person.

Below even a small project there are many stand-alone jobs to be done that can go wrong if we do not set them up correctly. There comes a time (or size of a piece of work to be done) when common sense tells you that you should not dive into creating a project management team for it or consider breaking the work into stages. Let us take a few examples.
