Project Management Guidebook

In pursuit of getting organized and accomplishing my earlier post on setting up a marketing plan for my business this year, I was searching through folders on my computer to find printable calendars I can put in a binder.  I'm a huge hoarder of downloadables, many from Microsoft's Office Templates site (which is GREAT, check it out!), but also from various other websites I've come across in my many searches on everything from home businesses to recipes.  I ran across an interesting e-book I downloaded from Method123.com, called the Project Management Guidebook.  While a lot of the information is specific to industrial projects, such as construction, I think there's plenty for the home-based crafter just starting out in business.  I will definitely use it to help me think more objectively about my goals and how to reach them, and to think in a more linear pattern, something I have trouble with sometimes.  There's a glossary at the end that outlines all the key terms in the book and it's laid out in an easy to read and understand fashion.  Feel free to download it from my link, but please respect the author's distribution and copyright.

Have a great evening!
