Entry Software’s Newest E-Book Enhances IT Project Manager’s Understanding of the Importance of Tracking Project Status
London, Ontario (PRWEB) February 28, 2014 -- John McDonald, IT fitness coach with Entry Software Corporation, announces the release of the company’s newest e-book, Tracking Project Status Throughout the Engagement. A free PDF version is available at the following Web page: http://signup.entry.com/download-project-status-ebook.
Brad Egeland is the author of Tracking Project Status Throughout the Engagement. He is a business solution designer and information technology/project management consultant and author with more than 25 years of software development, management and project management experience.
Egeland provides IT project managers with critical insights about the benefits and value of carefully tracking projects’ status, schedule and scope as well as identifying, avoiding and mitigating risks and utilizing project resources effectively and efficiently.
As he writes in the Entry Software e-book, “The project status report is possibly the single most important ongoing element of the project and probably the most critical communication tool to be utilized during the engagement. Communication is the project manager’s key responsibility, which includes tracking and relaying project status. These are the central elements that drive the daily advancement of a project to its completion.”
“As the newest volume in Entry Software’s e-book series, Tracking Project Status Throughout the Engagement will prove to be a valuable aid for any IT project manager,” said McDonald. “Not only will the book improve his or her understanding of the importance of project tracking, but also help to communicate more effectively and thoroughly with his or her project team and customers and stakeholders.”
The contents of Entry Software’s new e-book are presented in four easy-to-scan chapters, so IT project managers can refer to it quickly and often throughout the management process.
Tracking the Project – Improving the IT project manager’s response and actions when a project deviates from its plan and schedule.

Tracking the Project Scope – Delivering a quality product that satisfies the customer’s acceptance criteria.
