Publisher's Synopsis
Each chapter of PROJECT MANAGEMENT: A CONTEMPORARY APPROACH begins with a listing of the most important points you’ll need to learn, and all materials, including end-of-chapter questions and problems and test questions, have been developed to correlate to a specific objective. In addition, all PMBOK® Guide knowledge areas and processes are specifically included, and glossary definitions are from the PMBOK® Guide. This consistency with the established standard gives you a leg up if you decide to become a Certified Project Management Professional (PMP®). Microsoft® Project 2007 is fully integrated into the fabric of seven chapters within the text, and techniques are demonstrated in both a by-hand fashion and automated using Microsoft® Project 2007, helping you grasp the concepts behind the technique. One section at the end of each chapter lists deliverables for you to create (in teams or individually) for a real project. Clean copies of all deliverables will help you demonstrate your project skills in job interviews. PROJECT MANAGEMENT: A CONTEMPORARY APPROACH includes proven methods developed over the past 50 years, as well as exciting new methods that are emerging from both industry and research.
