This book has grown out of a Collaborative Project Management Guide that we at BrightWork created with and for our customers. The book provides a summary of the typical stages and steps involved in successfully managing a project collaboratively with a team, including steps for the project team members. In this regard it is all about process.
The book also addresses the critical topic of Personal Leadership, and describes the habits and qualities that successful project managers and team members practice and exhibit. And in this regard the book is all about people. And naturally enough the people and process aspects are inter-dependent.
Our intention and intended audience is as follows:
An easy to follow and simple to use project management book for new project managers.
A guide for team members who want to collaborate in the active management of projects.
A source of materials that experienced project managers can adapt to coach new project managers.
