Well, there's the PMBOK which is the overal project management bible. Specific to IT projects, this book is great IMO: http://tinyurl.com/3djopk Overall I'd give a few pieces of advice: 1.) Gather SPECIFIC business requirements and maintain a requirements traceability matrix (RTM). This should allow you to map BRs to your changes to your testing (unit, system, UAT) and verify in production. ReqPro is good software for this. 2.) Gather realistic estimates and make sure everyone understands what they are and why. 3.) Create a project plan and make sure there's a WBS on it. MAINTAIN IT! 4.) Have walkthroughs with your teams at each milestone which should include BR completion, SA completion, High level and low level design, test cases, and UAT. 5.) Make sure you're keeping a log of any deviations from the agreed plan, why they happened, who agreed to them, etc. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 Experience Flex 2 & MX7 integration & create powerful cross-platform RIAs http:http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;56760587;14748456;a?http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/flex2/?sdid=LVNU Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:227418 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
