Project Management methods are all about systematic planning, and a structured approach to execution of a project to completion, while writing a book is essentially a creative, unstructured and a meandering activity.

Project management is all about having the project move inexorably towards the deadlines without running into a ‘writer’s block’. Project management has the imponderables from the world working against you, while in writing a book, you are your worst stumbling block ! Once could go on and say a lot about why the twin shall never meet. Thus both the aspects of Project Management Tools and Writing Books are two different things.

But then, let us not stress the differences too much, for instance bibliographic books, biographical books, text books, and technical books, are very creative in nature, being based essentially on library search etc. For that matter, aren’t there pulp fiction writers out there who churn out a series of books with regular periodicity to hit the stands who could surely do with some principles of project management ? In many such works could it be that perhaps the creativity element is more like 10-15 percent, while the rest of it is fairly structured work, needing to be worked backwards from the due date of completion ? Is writer’s block completely uncontrollable or does it pay some heed to deadlines ? Isn’t that more or less akin to project management ? Can’t the discipline of self-imposed controls help one manage one’s time better ? Yes it is more typical context, the consequences of using or not using formal project management tools in terms of project time and cost overruns.

Project Management mainly focus on completing the work as per the previously mentioned guidelines within the specified time period but when it comes to Book writing the writer puts his own imagination, creativity and resources with an optimistic view without setting any time restriction for early completion of his work. The elements of Project Management mainly concentrate on the implementation of all the activities that are required to complete of the Project before its due date. Without doubt there are many divergences between Project Management and Book Working but still here it must be noted that day by day the global market is becoming more commercial and competitive and hence, the need of the day, demand changes. As a consequence, the current scenario, demands the utilization of Project Management Tools for writing books in a more effective and efficient way.  http://www.pghsesolutions.com/aboutus.html
