Sorry a mishit key submitted an earlier attempt before I had got anywhere! I have just finished Ashleys book and found it an excellent resource for a large ASP project for which I am the Project Manager. I have a background of developing small websites doing everything - developing/coding/creative etc This will be a different kettle of fish! I have managed medium size traditional projects but have been chosen for this project for my experience in web design. The site is a national site with a global focus in stage 3 and will offer a number of key services to the International Trade and Transport Industry Export and Import via a web portal - it is big and has funding and support from Industry and government. The background research and analysis has been completed over an 18month period. The company I work for is a Systems Integrator and Software applications developer - they have complaeted a number of web based applications and projects. I had hoped the book might have had some more tips on an ASP project or B2B rather than a B2C focus but I guess a lot of it is generic. Can anyone offer any sound advice on B2B or ASP web project management techniques? I am confident I can handle it but from reading the threads here I can see it is going to be an intense and at times difficult experience. With a project of this size and a number of service implementations is it best to break it up into a number of related projects (MS Project 2000) or keep it as one large Project Plan with summary level tasks? Thanks in advance for any suggestions and tips.

Hello,
I don't have specific advice for ASP projects as this is true for all IT projects: get your system architecture right before coding starts. Make sure youknow how many servers you are going to use, how the application server and database server will be configured configured, if you are going to use load balancing or not and how it will be handled etc... Are you integrating with any of the partner's sytem?
Pretty obvious stuff but can be forgotten sometime in the haste to start doing "real work".
