Abstract :
The author argues that project managers should get off the ad-hoc approach that ends up with daily fire fighting and keeps them from seeing the project´s big picture. Rather, they should concentrate on capturing the returns that standardized project management holds. This paper shows how to visualize standardized project management, and having visualized it, create it
