The most important aspect of any project, personal or corporate, is cost and cost is determined by the answers to the following two questions:
  •   How much time am I going to need?
  •   And how many people am I going to need?
My background is primarily in software development and like most modern forms of work it's very much a project-driven field. Software developers are notorious for always delivering their projects late and over budget. Why? Because project managers don't fully scope out all of the tasks that must be done, and then they assign arbitrary times to their list of vague overly broad parts of the project.
 I use two techniques to solve these problems: I use a mind map to identify all of the tasks and then a project chart (Gantt chart) to assign how long each task will take.
This sort of project management may not be necessary for the tiniest of projects, but for most projects you are going to need an organized, measured approach in order to accurately anticipate costs and to keep your project on schedule.
How I Manage Projects Using Business Graphics
In my last semester of college I was involved in a marketing project along with three other students - we had to perform some basic market research on the behalf of our client, an online niche news service.
We had to gather information from four target audiences:
  •   What attracted current subscribers to the service;
  •   What might draw potential new subscribers to the service;
  •   What might draw large advertising networks to publish with the service; and
  •   What might draw smaller, direct advertisers to publish with the service.
I'm going to use this small project as an example for the purposes of this article.
