I’m currently working on a new project with my business partner.

Up until now, I have worked out my project management requirements by using “project templates” and advice from experienced professionals of the field I ventured in. Fact is, I have been told, it’s not useful to reinvent the wheel over and over again.

However, our current project is so new that we can’t avoid inventing the wheel and I’m a bit lost on how to proceed. The main problem is that, in such new fields, business decisions and new information are more difficult to predict than in other better known fields of activities and could radically change the shape and timing of a project.

The “Microsoft Project” appproach seems less useful and I’m trying to go back to the theory to develop a bettter project management approach for such a start-up.

I guess I’m too late for one copy of the book you offer here, but I was anyway going to buy one. I will definetly keep you posted.
