Project Management
Step-by-Step
Exploring the thinking behind
project management - then putting it to work!
Project management can seem
like a daunting endeavor to the untrained and uninitiated. Here is a book that spells out
the basics of implementing a project management model and encourages critical thinking
about how project management can help a company accomplish its business objectives.
Offering clear, concise
explanations of different project phases, Project Management Step-by-Step also
includes six case studies - positive and negative, real and fictional - that show clearly
how project management works in the real world. The book is fully consistent with the
newly updated Project Management Body of Knowledge, so its observations and
recommendations are consistently applicable and thoroughly field-tested. Richman's
clear, accessible text is augmented with discussion questions, exercises, diagrams,
charts, and a comprehensive glossary. Special passwords to free online information for
students, instructors, and project management professionals are alone worth the price of
the book.
Written in plain, jargon-free
English, Project Management Step-by-Step is an incisive and complete guide - truly
a perfect introduction to project management.
