Book Cover & Preview Text
Imagine this, you got an idea, a really, really big idea for a project that you believe might just work. This project is in an area that you are passionate about. It could be in any industry, music, construction, small business, the creative arts….anything. Your project idea may have come about as a result of market demand, strategic opportunity, business need, customer request, technological advance or even a legal requirement. Maybe your idea is to create a product that can either be a component of another item or an end in itself. Your project idea may be to perform a service or result such as to produce a video, a concert, or an event. So now what, what you do next? Should you start planning the project? Maybe, but before you do, if may not be a bad idea to first figure out whether you idea actually fits the definition of a project. What exactly is a project? A project may be defined as any initiative that has a clear start date, a clear finish date, is intended to produce a unique product, service or result, and is developed in greater detail as the work progresses.
