If this is your first visit to this Issacon page, then take a look at Issacons 1001 and 1002 first.

IAC1001 discusses four fundamentally different "Areas of Project Management Application" (APMA), i.e. different types of project each requiring different approaches to their management.

IAC1002 describes the structure of the "Issacon Knowledge" in terms of level in a knowledge hierarchy.

Have you ever found yourself needing to create a project management form? One that must have been created a zillion times before, but not for your present organization or your project? Or have you ever wondered whether your existing project management forms are the best they could be and cover all the necessary information?

In this section we present you with the contents of a large number of typical project management forms that we have develped from experience over the years. We have deliberately not suggested layouts, because you need to provide your own recognizable look and feature set. Forms represent the most essential component of project management, namely, fast, efficient and effective communication!

But if you need hints on form design, read Issacons #1200 and #1201 first.
