The goal of this book is to provide a step-by-step guideline for managing projects in general, and managing distance education projects in particular. It is directed at two audiences, namely, practitioners who find themselves having to run numerous projects, both big and small, on a day-to-day basis, and open and distance learning practitioners who are team members of projects within their institutions. The writers are also hopeful that the book will be useful to aspiring professionals whose wish is to undertake specific projects. The principles and theories about project management they come across, will go a long way in.
