Now, that you may be considering Gant Charts, Pert, Predecessors, Resources and even Subordinating task, I want to tell you a secret. You still are not managing your project. You are scheduling your product and giving yourself tools to visualize the management of your product.
I have for years followed the Ten Step Project Management philosophy for Project Management. It is a well thought out and is a proven method of Project management. Out of all the books that I have read on the subject and use,the one I would recommend starting with is Lean Project Management: Eight Principles For Success
Benefits of the lean project management approach include:
-
More successful projects (satisfied customers and project team, full-scope, on-time, under-budget).
-
Faster project completion.
-
Simple project status.
-
Reduced unnecessary project paperwork.
-
Clear signals on when to take action on the project.
-
Reduced pressure on project team members.
-
Reduction of the waste that causes project delays: multi-tasking, queuing, Student Syndrome, Parkinson's law.
