ABSTRACT
At first sight, the business of managing a project regardless of size or complexity appears to be a simple matter. This cursory view of the subject could not be further from the truth. The reality is that the path to a successful conclusion of any project is strewn with pitfalls for the unwary, some of which could spell disaster both technically and financially. The result of such mishaps, if allowed to occur, can be severe for all parties involved, whether they are individuals or the company itself. Project management is primarily a function involving the interaction with people as much as it is with equipment and technology. Never forget that all equipment is produced by the joint efforts of several individual human beings, each of whom has a unique personality that has to be respected.
