Synopsis

An easy-to-follow blueprint for getting the project done on schedule, under budget, and according to specifications-every time

This Third Edition of an internationally bestselling guide provides project managers- in-training, product developers, and team leaders with a quick, easy way to master the basics of project management.

Using a lively, conversational style, project management guru Mickey Rosenau equips you with a set of general principles and "tested-in-the-trenches" techniques for managing projects in virtually any type of organization. He also arms you with original, easy-to-use tools for resolving any technical, mechanical, or personnel problem that can arise over the course of a project.

To make the complex discipline of project management as easy to understand and master as possible, Rosenau breaks it down into 22 chronological steps, grouped into five phases or processes-from defining project goals and planning the work to leading the team, monitoring progress, and completing the project.

Extensively revised to reflect the latest trends in the field, this Third Edition is nearly one-third larger than its predecessor and features fully integrated coverage of the latest cost estimating and project management software. It also includes, for the first time, a chapter on new product development projects.
