Summary:

Project management is hard work. It requires diligence, attention to detail, political adroitness, and the ability to survive being pecked to death by ducks. And there you are, volunteered to manage a project, even though you've never received any training in the discipline, by a manager who also lacks the tiniest shred of an idea of what it takes to successfully manage a project. What do you do now? Easy: You buy a copy of Bare Bones Project Management: What you can't not do. In 54 pages it delivers precisely what the title promises -- exactly what you have to do in order to bring your project to successful completion. Nothing at all more, nothing less. Bare Bones Project Management shows you the difference between projects that have a chance and those that don't. How to set up a decision-making framework that keeps you out of the line of political fire. To set up a project plan, and make sure everyone is committed to the timeline. - Publisher.
