Project Management, here I come!

Well, after being fully trained up on Project Management (a 3 day course, which means, of course that I now know everything there is to know about it. Give me a spade cos my tongue is firmly planted in my cheek), I've now completed my first ever project plan! It's this fiddly thing in Microsoft Project with a list of every single task the 5 person project team needs to do over the next 3 months, who's responsible for them, how long each task will take, how they all link together and how much everything is going to cost. Two full days of work and a very excited V heading off to the printer to pick it up. How disappointed was I when all that work, blood, sweat and tears culminated in only 3 pages worth of Work Breakdown Structure? Of course, my eyes lit up when I realised I could also print out task usages, network diagrams, Gantt charts, resource graphs and the like. I think I'm on my way!

I barely have any idea what I'm talking about so I hope you managed to stay with me!
