When the eZ Press (the book publication division of eZ Systems) produces a book, numerous people are involved in a large project that spans many months and contains a large number of interconnected tasks, many of them prerequisites for completing other tasks.
The "Group Writing Project: Time Management" blog post on the Inspiration Bit blog interested me, because a large part of our book publication process is about time management and coordinating tasks with resource scheduling. (I am the Manager of Knowledge Products at eZ Systems, and am responsible for the eZ Press division.) While I think Vivien will get many interesting posts on techniques and tools that individuals can use to manage their time, another important aspect of time management is how time is managed in large projects where multiple people are involved. This is a challenge because, in most cases, tasks are prerequisites for each other, and the timing of each individual task can affect the timing of the entire project, thus affecting the schedule of everyone involved.
