Synopsis

If you're new to project management or need to refresh your knowledge, Project Management Essentials, Fourth Edition is the quickest and easiest way to learn how to manage projects successfully. The concepts presented are not rocket science. They are all common sense. Yet they require knowledge and discipline - a framework to manage projects right and the will to adhere to it. If you consistently use the simple tools and templates provided you'll succeed. It's as simple as that. In this book you'll discover:

• The key skills and knowledge you'll need to be an effective project manager
• How to create an effective charter to start your project off right
• Guidelines for building a usable project plan
• Tips for breaking your project work into manageable pieces
• Techniques for accurately estimating project cost and schedule
• Help in building a team and different leadership styles you might apply to manage them
• Strategies to deal with conflicts, change, uncertainty, and risk
• How to report on the progress of the project and keep everyone concerned happy

Project Management Essentials is purposefully written in short, clear chapters to make project management more easily understood. The authors, all valued senior faculty of PM College, bring both their business experience and their academic background to make these chapters come alive.

This updated edition offers even more templates and content than the widely used earlier editions and complies with the latest project management standard, the PMBOK(R) Guide Sixth Edition.
