Synopsis:

Note: The revised version of this book came out in late April 2010. The only changes are corrections and Appendix A being based on Project 2010 versus 2007. You can get the Project 2007 guide free from the author's Web site. An Introduction to Project Management, Third Edition offers a general yet concise introduction to project management. This book provides up-to-date information (based on the 2008 PMBOK Guide) on how good project, program, and portfolio management can help you achieve organizational success. It includes over 50 samples of tools and techniques applied to one large project, and it is suitable for all majors, including business, engineering, healthcare, and more. This text uses a chronological approach to project management, with detailed explanations and examples for initiating, planning, executing, monitoring and controlling, and closing projects.
