For most of my career I have been involved in projects too, but mostly as a team member with a brief to do a particular set of actions/investigations, so never quite seeing the whole project from the top down.
Having now been married to a Programme Change Manager for 21 weeks and 1 day, I am beginning to take a more professional interest in project planning and the project lifespan generally.

Subject: [CIG-E-FORUM] CIG e-forum on project management
Hello and welcome to this CIG eforum from me too!
My name is Esther Arens; I'm Assistant Systems Librarian at the University of Leicester and a member of the CIG committee (Honorary Secretary).
I'm very excited about today's eforum: Although I've probably been involved in many projects during my career, I've never really thought about how they differ from my other tasks... up until recently because we're in the middle of a really BIG project, implementing a new library system, so I'm very aware of project management issues right now - but VERY little knowledge! So, I'm eager to learn anything, but in particular how people manage to keep an overview and(!) do the myriad of little tasks to progress at all.
Please start/keep introducing yourselves...
Esther
