Project management
Artemiiik, 2019-11-02 15:54:21

What material to choose to study the basics of project management?

There is a small team of interested people (4 people), of which I am the coordinator. We want to start a small project. We have an idea, but we do not know where to start and how to organize joint activities, because none of us have any experience with projects as such. I believe that some material on the basics of project management will help solve this problem. I would be grateful if you could give me some advice on this.

I recommend starting with this book . The necessary basics are described in a simple and accessible language.

Abstract question, abstract answer.
Management problem or lack of technical knowledge?
If it's the first, then it's easy.
Join together and create a board in trello, the free version is more than enough for you.
Start with 4 columns - a general dump of tasks (backlog), planned (plan), in progress (progress), completed (done). Then, if necessary, add other columns (analysis - ba, sa; testing - qa and whatever comes into your head).
You form a backlog / scope / dump of current tasks that need to be done, evaluate them at the top level in terms of time (hours or days) and make a planning horizon of a week / two.
By priorities (Critical / high / medium / low), you throw tasks from the backlog board into the plan, assign performers and start working.
If the assessment task is longer than one/two weeks, break it down into smaller ones to fit within your planning horizon (consider a sprint).
Then every morning a 15-minute status, who is doing what from the board today and what are the problems.
The task is to close your entire 1-2 week sprint with a list of tasks that you have formed, if not closed, an analysis of the causes and ways to correct them.
Further, only experience.
You yourself will understand which columns you need, which ones you don’t, what the cards lack in the description, and what is superfluous, how much to plan and how, and so on.
