How to Choose Project Management Training Courses for IT Professionals
By: Natalie Aranda, Tue Mar 27th, 2007
The first step in the selection of a good training course for Project Managers is to clearly understand the role of the Project Manager as it is understood today. Project Management is essentially concerned with a one time operation as opposed to an ongoing operation. The distinction is seen by many as being insignificant and this misconception leads to not only poor selection of Project Managers, but also for poor selection of training courses. The IT training field is experienced a period of rapid growth and change. The growing importance of Certification as a major benchmark of IT training and skill has led to the introduction of a myriad of training opportunities and choices. The time when a computer career was a simple thing is long past. The IT field has become complex and training can no longer be general in nature, but most be specific to the need of the trainee and the organization.

Project Management: Cost Estimates without Production Drawings
By: John Reynolds, Wed Feb 28th, 2007
Suppose that an estimate is to be prepared for the manufacture of a box filled with instrumentation, but that no production drawings have been prepared. Only one box is to be made, since it will be required for a special project. The only description on which the estimates can be based is an artist’s sketch showing the exterior of the box, and an engineer’s written design specification which includes no detail at all of dimensions, materials or the contents of the box, other than to outline the functional performance of the completed product.

Support, Cooperation, and Training for the Project Manager
By: John Reynolds, Wed Feb 21st, 2007
No matter how experienced, competent, enthusiastic, and intelligent the person chosen for the job of project manager, he or she cannot expect to operate effectively alone, without adequate support and cooperation. This includes the willing cooperation of all staff engaged on the project, whether or not they report to the project manager in the line organization. It also includes support from higher management in the organization, who must at lest ensure the provision of finance, accommodation, facilities, equipment, manpower, and other resources when they are needed, and the availability of suitable clerical or other supporting staff. Just as those working on the project need to be properly motivated, so does the project manager, and supportive higher management who show constructive and helpful interest in the project can go a long way to achieve this. They can also help in the longer term by providing opportunities for training as new techniques or management systems are developed.

Project Management: The Contractor’s Design Specification
By: John Reynolds, Wed Feb 21st, 2007
If, after serious consideration of the customer’s enquiry specification, a contractor decides to prepare a tender, the contractor must obviously develop technical and commercial proposals for carrying out the work. These proposals will also provide a basis for the contractor’s own provisional design specification. It is usually necessary to translate the requirements defined by the customer’s specification into a form compatible with the contractor’s own normal practice, quality standards, technical methods and capabilities. The design specification will provide this link.

Project Management and Customer Enquiries
By: John Reynolds, Wed Feb 21st, 2007
Enquiries and subsequent orders for commercial projects generally enter contracting companies through their sales engineering or marketing organization, and it is usually from this source that other departments of the company learn of each new enquiry or firm order. Even when enquiries bypass the sales organization, sensible company rules should operate to ensure referral to the marketing or sales manager so that all enquiries are ‘entered into the system’ for effective handling and response. This will ensure that every enquiry received can be subjected to a formal screening process that will assess its potential project scope, risk, and value.
