Data-Driven Project Management: Spreadsheets and Finance: A Practical Guide
Starting from 2010 there has been incredible change in business environments with the development of cloud technology and artificial intelligence. We believe that these technologies will start affecting routine-based desk jobs intensively soon. Data-entry, operational-accounting and scheduling might be one of these areas.
The idea of writing this book primarily raised from experiences which indicates that there is still enough time to waste with spreadsheets. Because each business runs for profitability and currently the cost of a large system changes cannot be afforded by majority of small and medium sized businesses. And each technology may not provide 100% automation for each task on time. You will learn the best project management practices on excel and will have free professional project management spreadsheet templates (i.e. Gantt, kanban, project planner).
Finance and accounting are still seen as professions owned by a specific department of companies whereas real finance is run by operations themselves. Each team member and/or the leader or planner must be aware of the financial results of each action. Particularly, project managers must have adequate knowledge and hands-on experience on financial aspects of projects. For this purpose, the second chapter of this guide focus on financial concepts related to project management.
