Project Management reading

March 21st, 2009 Chris R No comments

A browse of the shelves of a good bookstore and you’ll find quite a few books pronouncing the principles of project management. However, the literary style of many are given in the “Project Management made easy” mode.

Books which give the impression that Project Management need not be a constraint to the development process are misleading. Structure and control will always place constraints on what could be done in the fastest possible time. What the authors are trying to convey is that these constraints can be minimised, not that they can be jettisoned.

I strongly reccomend a site I found recently (http://www.projectsmart.co.uk/) which covers a good range of sensible material, and beats browsing “Project Management for dummies” or “The Ten-Minute Project Manager”-type media in your local bookshop.
