How to Run Successful Projects (Bcs Practitioner)

Software Project Management is perceived by most people, including many of its practitioners, as a black art. This book overturns that notion. There is a method underlying all successful projects, and if you follow this method, your project will almost certainly succeed.
We have called this method Structured Project Management.
Structured Project Management has the same relationship to conventional project management that Structured Analysis and Design has to analysis and design, and Structured Programming has to programming, that is, it replaces a process which is highly individualistic, with a process that is standard, repeatable, predictable and consistent.
Key Features of Structured Project Management: Structured Project Management is about people; it has in-built self-checking mechanisms - it lets you know at the beginning before the costs really spiral, whether or not your project is configured for success; it is complete - it is everything you have to do for a successful project; and it is simple to learn and easy to use.
How to Run Successful Projects is essential reading for project managers in the IT field, and for everyone charged with managing a venture structured as a project.
