Makes project management understandable and workable for people and organizations unaccustomed to formal controls. A flat organization believes the formal processes and controls used by many hierarchical organizations to be too involved, require too much overhead cost, and be too complex and/or time consuming. This book is for those with limited or no formal project management experience working within a flat organization. It offers clear, understandable discussions about project management processes, provides practical ideas and suggestions, answers common questions, and explains ways to address common pitfalls.
