Project management skills are hugely desirable for managers at all levels of an organization. Most people today can benefit from the application of these skills to some areas of their daily operations. From large undertakings, such as the Channel Tunnel or North Sea oil rigs, to the unique but smaller projects that take place in every type of organization, special skills are required if project management is to produce the right results.

This fully updated second edition of The Handbook of Project Management is written specifically to help project managers improve their performance using tried and tested techniques. It will be particularly useful if you are: looking to develop project management skills; starting a new project; wishing to acquire new skills; or training others in project management skills.

The Handbook of Project Management second edition now includes extra material on:

programme management;

the relationship between programmes and projects;

new ideas and opportunities for programmes and projects;

a free CD ROM containing a collection of tools and presentation materials that support the methodology used in the book.

Packed with concepts and processes, tools and presentation materials, this comprehensive handbook will assist anyone who is responsible for converting strategy into reality.
