ABSTRACT
Essential to the success of any project, private or commercial, is how well it is managed at all stages, from the first meeting with a client to the final sign-off. The same is true for a website development project, and it is particularly so because of the different types of tasks that need to be juggled. This chapter discusses what the stages of a Web project entail. Project management is essentially the organization and management of resources, including human resources, in a way that ensures the desired project quality is achieved, given a set of defined scope, time, and cost constraints, together known as the triple constraint. What the quality-time-cost-scope relationship means is that if one factor changes, one or both of the others must be adjusted in order to maintain the same level of quality. Brainstorming is a random, free-thinking, but powerful technique for creating new ideas and solving problems.
