Also on this site are related articles from "An Introduction to Project Management", "The Role of the Project Manager" and many others.

that was a great article. I link the simplification of project management ins beining defined through the who, what, when, where and how. Also they discuss getting participants to commit, that is important or they will not do their part in the project. thanks for sharing.

The two things I liked about this site most were the concepts of an RAG status and assigning an early warning sign. I like the RAG status because it gives the risk log a quick visual aspect. You can see right away the amount of risk involved in your project. I like the thought of assigning an early warning sign because it really makes you think out each risk involved in your project. When an early warning sign does occur, you will be aware of the risk much sooner than if you had not thought it through.
