Synopsis

What Does The Art of War has to do with Project Management?

If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle. This famous quote from the 2,000 year old military classic, The Art of War, has been applied to business as much as warfare in modern times. PMBOK®, the Project Management Body of Knowledge, published by PMI®, is an international standard, recognized worldwide for enabling professionals and organizations to deliver value.


Not only does Project Management Battlefield clarify and enhance the processes and ideas found in PMBOK®, it also includes a free copy of Sun Tzu’s The Art of War.
