I will be giving a lecture to the BCS Project Management Specialist Group on December 6th 2005. This will take place at the Tanaka Business School, Imperial College, with the kind assistance of Tidu Maini. A very brief synopsis of the lecture is as follows:
“The bid was truly a once in a lifetime experience and the outcome was sensational. But behind the scenes, the work of the bid needed to be structured into a series of discrete projects with explicit outcomes and deliverables. Numerous teams were formed to ensure success for each project. Each project was broken down into smaller elements with clear milestones. Progress had to be monitored continuously. Many people were working in multiple areas with huge resource constraints. This presentation outlines the approach taken and identifies, from a project management perspective, the numerous lessons – both good and bad – from an unbelievably charged two years.”
I’m really looking forward to this event. There are some details here.
