Product Description

From Amazon

There are 100 books on the market that help explain how to write your Web pages, whether or not you knew what a Web page was before you opened the book. And there are a hundred books explaining how to run a successful project, outlining the aim and how to make sure you get yourself and your business to your destination on time and on budget. There are very few books, however, that help explain the need to project-manage a Web site and very few business books whatsoever that do their explaining as clearly and as elegantly as Ashley Friedlein's Web Site Project Management.

Project management is aggressively raising its profile in a context whereby new working practices force new ways of working on all managers. Project-based working has become a reality for all of us and technical managers particularly know that the cutting-edge computer know-how of staff is not, by itself, enough to ensure the successful resolution of a job of work. Web Site Project Management shows that the complexities of creating and delivering a commercial Web site can be overcome and in clean, direct prose walks the reader through the stages to completion. Friedlein outlines the attributes of a good project manager, explaining the scope and challenges of the role. He outlines a Web project method ("the framework for making decisions about the project") and goes into the different stages of the site project from clarification, definition and specification on to content, design, launch and maintenance. This could well prove to be invaluable. --Mark Thwaite

"It wasn't that long ago that the majority of Web sites consisted of static HTML pages containing text and graphics, and incorporating some basic functionality, such as online forms for collecting feedback, rollovers, and search functions." Read the first page

5.0 out of 5 stars Still a solid methodology for Web Project Management Feb 14 2004
By Manny Hernandez
Format:Paperback
It has been about four years since this book's last edition came out, and it continues to top the list of Web Project Management references, and with reason for it. Its proven methodology provides a solid framework that you can relate to once and again, with confidence and permanently reminding of potential pitfalls and obstacles. In short, Friedlein's book provides the closest thing to a recipe for success with managing web projects: of course, you can always put in a little too much salt yourself, can't you? ;)

4.0 out of 5 stars Please read the full review. Jun 30 2003
By Mohammad Ajjour
Format:Paperback
Intro
"There is no one book that is best for every person. There couldn't be one. People are too different in the way they learn, in what they already know, in what they need, in what they want, and in what kind of effort they are willing to make." Bjarne Stroustrup (The creator of the C++ programming language.)
I always try to remember this whenever I have to judge a writing effort.
Whom is this book for?
This book is for anybody interested in managing a web project or being part of a well managed one. (Need to be more specific read my conclusion?)
What does this Book offer?
The book seems to offer tips more than any thing else, some guidelines about the roles of personals in a web team, a "Web project method", and a case study.
The part regarding web teams seems to be good and gives a lot of insight.
The case study is full of tips.
The method, (Here where my good feeling change) a high level view, full with tips but no real details, never the less seems to be good.
What I liked?
This book is very well written, tips every where (even in the acknowledgments), the graphics are nice, and is good for the right people.
What I didn't?
If you didn't, go read the Stroustrup quote I wrote in order not to miss understand me, the book didn't help me a lot, I m a web developer searching for an all around web process to follow in my projects, and this book simply doesn't offer. The writers seem to ignore that there are software systems behind those web sites. More details wouldn't have harmed.
Conclusion
I feel that the most people that would benefit reading this book are already practicing web project managers.
