Many a time I get lost in the middle of a project, and the project gets delayed. I have four projects which are still not completed, and new projects are coming.
How should I approach a new project? Are there any books or websites that help understand what I need to do first?
Do we make a database or static design first, as the customer wants to see something online after booking the domain? What are the steps to take when starting a new project?
What we do at our end is start with static designs, then start with the database, and then do the coding in ASP.NET.
The closing meeting agenda should include: 1) outstanding items 2) project performance against budget, schedule, and scope 3)lessons learned 4) other topics as needed. Once the project is closed, organize and store the project artifacts and deliverables in your organization's project archive.
You have multiple projects going on, and you need to pick up a new project... well, let's take a step back and look at this from the high level.
Projects A B C D unfinished. What are their statuses? Are they on time? If they aren't, how did they get behind? How they got behind, will it happen to your new project? Do you have the resources to finish these projects on time? Do you have the resources to finish these projects at all?
Project E to be started: Do you have the resources to finish it? Even start it? Do you know what the end result needs to be? Do you know the intermediate steps to get there?
Do you have help internally, both above and below you? What assistance can these people offer?
You need to answer these questions, or at least most of them. These are the questions that help project management. Time - resources - talent - know what you have and what you need!
Without more specifics, I can't really help you more.
