A BUM’s Project Management Guidelines

The PMG (Project Management Guidelines) is the starting place for that process with a defined beginning and agreed-upon ending. Project Management must have more than authority; it must exhibit leadership and communication skills to succeed consistently (the most vital part of the job description).

Project management is a people business and those people who attain the highest levels of success are individuals, who recognize their team as the true and honest answer to successful projects. Since Spiegle believes strongly in the "Involvement Gets Commitment" philosophy, this material is a guideline, not a policy manual. Project management is a process that works best when there is an organized and consistent way of conducting project business. Project management has become more critical today than ever due to increasing costs, demands for more robust projects (technology changes daily) with fewer resources, and greater financial accountability, including more accurate cash flow control.
