The set is also available on CD-ROM.;The first volume provides an executive overview of how to raise awareness, gain internal sponsorship, set up project management and manage risk; the second is a day-to-day handbook for year 2000 project managers; and the third, a means of moving beyond the memos, staying focused and getting the programme rolling. The fourth volume of the set advises on assessing the size of the problem - how to pinpoint problems and assess the resources required to overcome them; the fifth sets a benchmark for managers to ensure that their programmes achieve compliance - with detailed coverage on converting application codes and data; and the final volume explores the legal implications of the process, with answers on what happens to warranties, liability for system and software failure, compensation, contracts and more.
