    About this ebook

    Why did I write this book?It seems to me that a lot of money is wasted in projects that are not well concluded andinadequately handed over to production. Mistakes during the whole project are causingthis. Lack of project methodologies, under trained associates and “hidden agendas” areother typical factors. To give an analogy, an airplane flight doesn’t just end for all thoseon board with the landing. Some of the staff will have additional tasks and duties whileothers just leave the plane. This has to be kept in mind.Project money is not monopoly money either. It’s not your own money, but you have totreat it as if you have been working for it very hard.It’s not my intention to give you clear instructions on how to avoid these and otherissues. So this is neither a cook book nor a clear working guide to follow, exceptperhaps the included checklists and form examples. My intention is to show somesituations every project is at some time faced with and some ideas on how to avoidthem.
