Process Based Management

Project management can be described as a set of techniques based upon agreed principles of management, which is used for planning, estimating and controlling work activities to reach a desired end result on time, within budget and according to specification.
The world is constantly changing and we need to be able to continue to develop in this ever-changing, chaotic environment. Project management helps us to manage chaos in a disciplined way. Project management helps us to control what has to be done to try to ensure that it gets done properly, on time and within budget.
Of course this leads us to prince2. Prince2 is a process-based approach which can be tailored and scaled for different types of project. It is not just to plan - it must produce product and results. Each process has key inputs and outputs related to its objectives and the activities to be carried out during the process.
The project is divided into manageable stages - each with its own resources, and monitored to control these and measure progress. Prince2 must be strongly justified by its business case and the rationale and deliverables must be clearly set out. Rational and deliverables are continuously assessed against the emerging business environment in the context of business objectives, which may change. As an accepted methodology with its own language all the stakeholders can readily communicate with, and understand, each other. A project manager needs specialist knowledge and skills in project management.
The Basic Functions of the Project Manager:
People management - Being good with people and knowing how to work with a diverse range of personality types in a team environment are very important management skills.
Controlling the project - Schedules, tasks, expectations and costs have to be continuously monitored and controlled. Where it is not possible to proceed exactly as planned the project manager must evaluate alternatives and the effects on timescale and budget.
Staying with the methodology - All team members need to be fully trained and reinforced on an ongoing basis in the project methodology, with feedback leading to appropriate improvements. This ensures consistency and allows processes to be repeated accurately as the correct methodology is repeated.
Project management can be a very satisfying and fulfilling career once you understand the basics as described above.

Is there a UK website where you can have images printed on merchandise, and they deal with distribution, etc?
I'm looking for something like CafePress but UK based.
This is what CafePress do: customers are able to open an online shop to sell prints of their own artwork and images on clothing, badges, bags, all sorts of products - all with no upfront costs and no inventory to manage - Cafe Press manage it all and do the printing for you.
They manage every aspect of doing business online, including storefront development, site hosting, order management, fulfillment, secure payment processing, and quality customer service - enabling anyone to open a free shop with no upfront costs and no inventory to manage.
So now you know what it is, is there anything like this in the UK and is it any good? Has anyone used it and how has it worked for you?
