The Super-Good Project Planner for Technical Consultants
By Karl W. Palachuk
- Make every project a successful and profitable project!
Another great binder project! This is an E-book package on project management. Not designed for setting up a new hospital, but great for managing those daily projects that just seem to get out of hand, take too long, or don't make money. Perfect as a place to start managing your next server installation.
Based on the best practices of KPEnterprises Business Consulting, Inc., The Super-Good Project Planner for Technical Consultants covers the basics of project planning in the real world of the SMB consultant. Then it jumps right into a down-and-dirty, get-it-done process for creating and implementing projects that work.
The primary audience is the technical consultant. But this process, with very little fine-tuning, should work for just about any SMB project.
- From the Introduction:
Why is this a Super Good project planner? Very simple:
First, it's very simple. This process is easy to learn and easy to teach to your assistants, fellow technicians, and sub-contractors.
Second, with this project planner, no work goes un-done. That means you have checklists. When everything's checked off, everything's done. It also means there's a built-in process for spin-off work that comes up as a result of the project. When some piece can't be completed as planned, it goes into the "additional work" section.
All of which leads to . . .
Third, each project has a scope of work. Everything inside the scope of work is part of this project. Add-ons and spin-offs are outside the scope, and therefore outside the project. They get written down, additional service tickets are created, and nothing gets dropped or forgotten.
Fourth, these projects are successful and profitable. We know that because, by design, there's a scope of work and an allocation of resources (primarily labor). When you complete the scope of work, you complete the project.
Raves:
"Karl continues to offer the best material for the SMB Consultant who is looking for clear advice on how to get started and do it right from day one. This book boils down good project management to it's core elements, and gives you everything you need to get started on project management."
Karl walks you step by step through a real world scenario to provide practical advice on how to run your projects smoothly. If you want to jump start your own process management, this book is the way to start — you can't get consulting like this on your own for only the cost of a book!"
