Synopsis

If you're a project manager, you need this guide to fill in the gaps in the PM canon. The Project Management Institute's Body of Knowledge, fails to fully explain certain PM tools and how they work, among other failures. Real-World Project Management fills in those major gaps with irreverence, wit, and wisdom. For any kind of project you're managing, this book presents the high-quality tools and tactics you need to succeed.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

Real-World Project Management

Experienced project managers consider the Project Management Institute's A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) an indispensable resource. Yet, there is a significant disconnect between the way PMBOK describes project management frameworks and how actual projects unfold in the real world.

Real-World Project Management fills that gap by discussing and describing project management with all its messiness and daily complications. This in-depth guide cuts through the theory to cover the practical--and sometimes ugly--realities of real projects. In addition, while PMBOK looks at a wide variety of tools and techniques with little focus, Real-World Project Management explores the most vital tools and techniques with detailed instructions on making them work in real projects.

Where PMBOK fails, Real-World Project Management succeeds--your projects will too.
