Co-Pilot: Small Project Guide^®
Universal Small Project Management Method

Wanna Go Real Fast?
Most small projects are deadline driven. This all-too-often creates a sense of urgency bordering on despair, as obvious rather than brilliant solutions result.

The best way to speed to a successful small project conclusion is to apply this scaled-down version of our popular project management methods. The result: a more purposeful start, and a faster end with the right product done right, the first time.

What is a Small Project?
We define a Small Project as one that is 8 to 360+ hours of total effort, and done within 3 months. Staffing usually includes the project leader as primary contributor, "with a little help from your friends". Not surprisingly, some have more friends than others do, and that is one key factor in improving efficiency and responsiveness.

Are You Efficient?
Small projects may be your least efficient use of staff, for several reasons.

Co-Pilot: Small Project Guide to your Rescue
Co-Pilot: Small Project Guide works in Enterprise-wide applications and in Information Technology projects, too! Probably half your staff work in small projects, and many of them are not managed like projects, just work that needs to be done by the end of the week. Or month. Our Small Project Guide has three paths, with three levels of rigor for small projects of increasing size and risk:

• JDI: Just Do It for 1-24 hour projects; a 1-page template for capture of the most-important project communications.
• VSP: Very Small Project for 25-120 hour projects; a 10-page template, and
• SPG: Small Project Guide for 121-360+ hour projects; with an up-to-44 page Speedy File template.

For each project path, we provide templates and Adobe Acrobat-based .pdf or web-based .html narrative instructions.
