Website Upgrade Incoming - we're working on a new look (and speed!) standby while we deliver the project

Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Need 2-3 beta readers of a narrative non-fiction presentation of project management tools and techniques. Book is ~100K words (21 Chapters) 62 exhibits/figures. Format is .docx, but could easily be any eBook format (ePub, mobi, etc.). Reader would be reviewing for content not grammar (accuracy, relevance, cogency). Prefer PMs with process capital project experience (Oil & Gas/petro-chemical). Please send PM if interested.  Thank you.

Book has grown to 122,000 words. I'd like a beta reader with experience in process FEED (downstream Oil & Gas). Most of the structural errors (grammar) are fixed.

I would like verification of FEED policies and procedures. This should be an easy read, requiring minimal comment (I hope). Scope is limited to FEL 1 and 2, with reference to the other phases including risk and change control.

Thanks,

Dennis,

I have written a project management manual a few years ago and more recently was the editor for the draft of the Manual of Standards of Practice for Planning and Scheduling for the Guild of Project Controls, now in publication. I would be interested in reviewing your paper.

Hi Dennis

A worthy reward - pity that I know nothing about the subject.

Best regards

Mike;

Nothing, except my obligation to return the favor. Oh, and the satisfaction of knowing you contributed to a major advance in project management literature.
