There are at least a thousand different books out there with advice on how to manage projects.  Many of them are very good.  Some are excellent. I hope you will let me know in the comments section whether this is on the plus side of the spectrum or the minus.

In this series of posts, I plan to tackle how to manage projects starting small.  No Microsoft Project.  No Gantt charts. We’ll use a spreadsheet.  Practically any spreadsheet will do.  I use Excel because I have it, but I’ve use Google Sheets and Open Office Calc – ‘scuse me LibreOffice Calc – in the past.

To tackle project management, we’ll need an example.  Let’s use building a shed in the backyard.
