This is a step-by-step, down-to-earth, no fluff — just the bare essences, kinda book, packed with practice-proven, quick to understand, and easy to use nuggets on how to apply the core essences of good project management to your contract management activities; what to look out for; when to be on guard; how to act … and much more. Whether you’re a contract or project manager, you’ll learn all you need to know to better connect with each other, team-up pre-contract already to ensure the best possible take-off you’ve ever experienced, and to work shoulder-to-shoulder after the contract is signed and the project’s on its way.
By applying the nuggets in this book:
•You’ll be able to prepare contracts in such way that you’ll have projects jettison up, up, and away to their destinations right after the contract gets signed — Project Boards and Project Managers will give you the recognition of providing them with a clear-cut view on the contract essences. It will make their project start-ups solid, quick, and easy;
•You’ll have a much easier job in managing the contract and keeping the project aligned to it. No more unexpected escalations or ‘all hands on deck’ to set things straight — c-level management will be grateful for that, I can tell you!;
•Handovers between the Project Manager and Operations will be a breeze — Service Managers will thank you for the timely heads-ups which enable them to shine in front of their customers and deliver a great service (which, to be honest, gives you an easier ride in managing the service contract after the project).
So in a nutshell, your contracting activities will improve massively. You’ll have more success on contracts than ever before, and you’ll reap the gratitude of colleagues and management from both customers as well as suppliers.
You’ll be using the renowned PRINCE2 project management method as our vehicle.
Why?
Because PRINCE2 is one of the world’s leading project management methods, based on the lessons learned from thousands of previous projects, and it shows. It’s crammed with ‘best-and-proven-practice’ elements of good project management. It’s all in there! All over the world, in all kinds of industries, more and more project teams apply it and reap the benefits of solid preparation, step-by-step processes and decisions, and controls that provide both grip and flexibility—even in projects that need an agile approach. So by using PRINCE2, you’ll have a front-row view on the knowledge and experiences of both bruised as well as Champaign covered project managers, you’ll get comfortable with a rapidly spreading way of working, and you’ll be learning a common ‘project lingo’. Oh, and did you know that PRINCE2 is free to use? So what’s keeping you?
