Feature Summary



  • A team orientation shows how project management concepts and tools work in team settings. This book includes tools not found, as a comprehensive set, in any other project management book.
  • A process context demonstrates how the various tools fit together as part of a cohesive project management process, demonstrating the iterative nature of project planning and execution.
  • An integration of management/behavioral concepts supports the authors' prescriptions about leader and team behavior with evidence from academic research.
  • Balanced tool set. The most effective project managers are those who know when they need to be analytical and when a more creative approach is warranted—this text presents ideas for making these distinctions and tools for use in each type of situation.
  • Focus on pedagogy. This book was developed around teaching and learning. The material is presented in a way that will both enhance an instructor's ability to teach from the book, and support the solo learner.
  • Includes illustrations of state-of-the-art technology tools such as MSProject and MindManager.
