ABSTRACT

From complex, national infrastructure projects to the small, personal projects we each undertake, wherever there is a group of activities, a budget, and a target date, there is a project. Business notwithstanding, all of us at one time or another need to deliver a project. The skills and concepts are those that the average person can easily pick up and start putting to use. They are everyday and should be simple to understand and implement. They are also the skills and the concepts that the best professional project managers use. However, there is a cautionary note. In an attempt to distill the essence of the project management skill set and key concepts, some of the nuance and detail is necessarily lost.
