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 needed to create a project management job description? For your company or your latest project? Or you just want to check on what your current project support staff should be responsible for? And to make sure they are the best they can be and that their position descriptions cover all that needs to be done?

In this section we provide the content for a set of typical project management position descriptions based on practical experience. Not all positions are necessary for all projects and, depending on the project size and type, the responsibilities of some positions may be amalgamated. Once again we have deliberately not suggested layouts because you need to provide your own recognizable look and feature set. Before you start, however, do read Issacon #1275 which will give you good background on the subject.

If you need hints on layout, refer back to Issacons #1200 and #1201.
