Synopsis

This book describes a concept of project management for general application, and the organisational, financial and planning aspects of a project. This third edition has been adapted regarding both the contents and the form that were altered in the Dutch version of the book Projectmanagement, the 8th edition by Jan Verhaar. Besides the obvious changes for this 3rd edition small changes and add-ons have been made throughout the entire book. In Part A, the chapters have been included which guide you through the methodology. In Part B you will learn using the step-by-step plan, with your own event or conference project. In Part C all of the chapters have been bundled together so that you can gain theoretical insight into the different techniques and models.

From the Back Cover

Project management is characterised by systematic and integral control
of the development process, from creative idea to concrete product. This
book concentrates on the management of event projects. Events such as
festivals, exhibitions, conferences, arts productions, sports events and
company events draw a lot of attention. An initiative frequently ends in
failure, because the funding cannot be finalised, deadlines are not met or
budgets are exceeded. The professional approach of a project can prevent
many problems. The Project Management method is very user-friendly and
stands out by its direct applicability (numerous check lists, step-by-step
plans and model contracts).
