The Project Managers' Guide¶

As a project manager, you take advantage of the opportunities that arise, i.e. you plan, realise and review what has been achieved and draw lessons from this to do better next time. You document everything you do. Why? Because you know that this is extremely important for future projects. Everything that you found good about the management behaviour of your previous superiors, or everything that you found unsatisfactory about their behaviour, you immediately do better as a project manager. And yet you - probably the most important manager in the company - are often disorientated and therefore have a need for rules and proven systems that can help you.

Project managers need all the help they can get because they have to successfully master the most difficult task there is for managers.
