Dear Peter



Golden Rules a Project Manager should be aware of:

1)Project Start Up

2)Communication

3)Information Management

4)Health & Safety Management

5)Quality Management

6)Design Management

7)Procurement

8)Planning & Progress Control

9)Risk Management

10)Value Management/Value Engineering

11)Construction & Site Control

12)Project Close out



Each section is covered by a composition which formulates as a procedures manual.



The Project Manger does not have to memorise each section word for word, however, he needs an appreciation of the importance of each section.



Best Wishes

... if only it were that simple.



Hey, I sympathise, senior management want a digestable form. You have to give it. The first chapter of the Project Manager’s Portable Handbook (Cleland & Ireland - published by McGraw Hill) gives some bullet points you could use including "Benefits for senior managers".



Good luck
