| This book on Project Management is intended as a quick reference
covering important aspects of project management that should be understood
by managers in the telecommunications environment.
This book is organized with an introduction, which introduces the value
chain in telecommunications and illustrates the type of project, which one
might encounter in a telecommunications company.
Part I: Planning a Project covers the processes to be used in the initiation
and planning of projects.
Part II: Running a Project covers the processes that fall into place once
the planning stage is completed. All project areas are covered, including
Initiating, Planning, Executing, Controlling and Closing.
In Part III we look at the contributions to projects by the different
departments in a telco, including Sales and Marketing, Senior Management,
Project Management, Engineering, Operations and Purchasing.
The book refers frequently to A Guide to the Project Management Body
of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide), 2000 Edition, published by the Project
Management Institute, and all processes included are those recommended in
the PMBOK® Guide. |
