The Definitive Guide to Project Management

Book Abstract by: getAbstract    

Original Author: Mark Goodman, Ian Major, Alan Greenwood and Sebastian Nokes
As businesses adapt to rapidly evolving markets, it’s difficult to think of a more vital function than project management.
The ability to drive multiple projects to completion is one of the hallmarks of leading corporations. If one aspect of contemporary business science deserves elevation to a higher seat in the academy, project management is it. Successful projects reflect extremely efficient and refined planning processes, and are no more a matter of serendipity than, say, 20 straight quarters of steadily increasing profits. This compilation of valuable insight and guidance provides a single reference source for project managers. The book asserts that it is directed at project managers early in their careers and is designed to enable them to operate competently in organizations where a project management structure and legacy already exist. However, it goes into sophisticated levels of detail and the authors assume that you can juggle your jargon and your Organization’s politics and policies. Well-illustrated, with reader-friendly charts and a detailed appendix about critical chain project management, it provides a fundamental, thorough, all-you-need-to-know compendium for completing projects. getAbstract.com strongly recommends it to any project manager. The newer you are, the more you need it.
