SynopsisEvery 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., This covers everything you need to know to successfully manage a government technology services or development project. Mike uses an easy-to-read style of writing as opposed to the more typical business book mumbo jumbo. In other words, he makes project management simple and readable so PMs don't just put yet another book on their bookshelf. Most noteworthy, this book complements the material in the PMBOK and is consistent with CMMI. Topics include: project planning, project initiation, project execution, monitoring and control, project close-out, risk management, customer relationship management, quality assurance and contract growth. Over 150 pages of lessons learned, guidance, templates and checklists. Lisagor is the Chief Knowledge Officer at GovFlex.com -- the leading online freelance exchange for government contractors & agencies to acquire the services of independent experts. He also founded Celerity Works in 1999 to provide business development (BD) and project management advisory services where he advised over 70 contractors and agencies and coached over 500 executives, project managers and BD professionals. Prior to that, Mike was a business development and operations executive for IT contractors for 13 years and a project manager for 15 years. Mike presented numerous popular knowledge webinars and wrote hundreds of columns for government contractors magazines, blogs & news stations. Mike implemented the project management process and training program for several government contractors. He also developed the risk management process and training for GSA FEDSIM for their IT acquisition programs. Mike is the author of several popular books including Winning and Managing Government Business and, with GovFlex CEO Eric Adolphe, How to Develop a Winning Small Business Innovation Proposal. It's Mike's belief that while invaluable, PMI training is often too theoretical and complex for most new project managers to remember. Once they get thrown into their first project, all this knowledge falls by the wayside. The purpose of this Guide is to bridge this gap...to provide a useful reference for planning and managing a successful project to completion. In other words, the essentials and nothing but the essentials!
