Also, we're experimenting with how we use these votes a bit more to try and improve our site. Feel free to join the conversation: meta.pm.stackexchange.com/questions/478/using-downvotes-on-pmse | |

I think that would be a huge improvement. I think the big thing that needs to be addressed is the fact that the guy is spending 2 hours per week on the project. This seems perhaps slightly beyond what a book could solve, at least without context. Hope this helps! :) | |
| Sep 16, 2012 at 20:32 | comment | added | Simon Hoare | Hi - sorry you didn't like the answer. The idea was that he only has 2 hours a week. If he reads a book like the one I recommended, he'll be in a much better position to use those 2 hours constructively. I was worried that people mentioned things like Prince2 which will really eat into his time and probably discourage him. Fair enough if you consider it an inappropriate answer but that was my motivation :-) | |
| Sep 16, 2012 at 20:25 | comment | added | jmort253 | Hi Simon, this doesn't answer the question of how can the PM manage the project in only a few hours per week. We're looking for specific solutions in answers on PMSE, not broad references to other resources. Consider making an edit to improve your answer if you have a solution to this user's problem. If you need guidance, see How to Answer. Good luck! :) | |
