Too Much or Too Little?
I recently finished a book by Curtis R. Cook, Just Enough Project Management, that suggests that not all projects have to apply the same level of project management in order to be successful. This small book is chock full of sample templates and checklists that can be applied to projects large and small. Mr. Cook’s suggests in his book that the value of project management is in how it effectively translates business objectives into business results, and not in the size or comprehensiveness of the project management methodology being followed.
After reading this book, I believe this is a great complement to the PMI Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK®), but should not be considered a replacement. Keep copies of both books at your desk, and you will have at your fingertips much of the process-related information for project management.
