I have been involved with several "initiatives" at my company that should have been projects but weren't. Specifically, the scope and deliverables weren't really settled upon and there weren't clear sponsors. I got interested in project management because it seemed like there had to be a better way. To that end, I looked at Creative Project Management, CAPM/PMP Project Management Certification All-in-One Exam Guide with CD-ROM, Second Edition and, of course, the PMBOK (A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge: PMBOK(R) Guide), then in its 4th edition. The first taught me to think about projects, the second taught me a lot about the methodology and the third taught me, well, very little. The PMBOK is pretty dry, but it's ostensibly the gold standard in project management. Which brings us to the book of forms.If you want to do project management the official way, the PMBOK gives you a lot of standards, but not a lot of how-to. The Project Management Book of Forms, on the other hand, takes the main segments of the PMBOK and translates them into forms to fill out. Even better, you can download them (docx format, so you'll need Word 2007 or higher or a converter) to print out or modify. And with each form, there are abundant instructions, referencing what part of the PMBOK standard each section fulfills.
