I find that this handbook is an essential guide in helping project managers, both experienced and novice, to gather their thoughts and actions when starting a new project. The guide is easy to follow and for me, is a key desktop reference for my day-to-day project management . I highly recommend every PM add it to their library of PM resources/tools.

We at BrightWork are strong believers in the ‘Start | Evolve’ approach to deploying collaborative project management. We believe in an agile process where a little delivered with frequent feedback is a stronger method of building sustainable improvement.
Each chapter of this book represents an implementable chunk of collaborative project management or leadership and as each chapter ends we have added an implementation exercise.
Our real hope is that you will find practical advice in the book, that you can take over time and implement on your projects. We wish you much success in working our book.
