Project Management
A practical body of work on managing information-systems projects: risk, planning, structure, estimating, scheduling and leadership.
A recurring professional focus
The archived Information Systems Project Management material opens with a distinction between routine work and project work, then develops a structured approach to risk, planning, life cycles, work breakdown structures, estimating and scheduling.
That material reflects a central theme throughout Scudder's teaching and seminars: software is not a substitute for project-management judgment. Successful projects depend on understanding objectives, risk, structure, people and control.
