Here's what I got from one of our project managers (and a good

friend...):


The ultimate:

Rapid Development

Steve McConnell

Microsoft Press

-this is really for hard core software dev. but works well for

multimedia / web sites


-the other best general guide on Project Management is available from

the Project Management Institute web site. It is called the "Project

Management Body of Knowledge" (PMBOK) and is the standard practice

guide for all project management.  It is available free in acrobat

format. Inispensible.

www.pmi.org



The not-so-ultimate:

There is also the Multimedia Producer's Bible, by Sams, but it is the

usual Sams book with seven thousand pages of top-level instructions on

the internet and its sordid history and about 50 pages of real content,

written by 80 authors.



HTH,

Colin
