The Essential Guide to Managing a Government Project

Every new or seasoned government contractor or agency project manager (PM) should be sure to read The Essential Guide to Managing a Government Project published by The Government FreeLance Exchange - GovFlex.com. Lisagor's writing style is straight-forward and his book is filled with 'What to do and What Not to Do', as opposed to the typical institutional project management training that is not government specific enough and is forgotten a day later. Topics include: project initiation, planning, execution, control, and close-out as well as risk management, customer relationship management, configuration mgmt., quality assurance and contract growth. Over 150 full-sized pages of guidance, lessons learned, figures, templates and checklists. The contents are based on insights gained from having performed hundreds of project reviews and coaching assignments as well as relevant experience as a technology PM and operations/business development executive managing numerous large and small-size contracts. Review: "This is exceptionally well done. In particular I like the practical insights and level of detail. This will be an invaluable reference guide for new small businesses, consultants, PMs and so many others." - Bob Dickson, former Chief Information Officer, U.S. State Department.
