Tools you need: clear goals, planning, setting & articulating expectations, ongoing evaluation of those, execution-the path to successful meeting of goals, methodologies, use of resources, human and otherwise, budgeting, logistics, progress & performance analytics, tracking. After you fulfill your obligations/intended deliverables, your project is never closed. It is organic! Manning & Schooler get into the common methodologies and why you want to, need to, must do or absolutely not do that: waterfall, agile, lean and Prince2. And Manning’s hybrid, Manning-organic. And much about your people.
