Project Management:A Practical Guide for Success (Crisp)

Project Management:A Practical Guide for Success (Crisp), 9781560526650 (1560526653), Crisp Learning, 2002

Everyone manages projects from time to time. For example, students manage a project fulfilling class requirements. The do-it-yourselfer manages a project furng or building something around the house. A host manages a social event. These people can capitalize on the same concepts of project management as those used by engineers, superintendents, and contractors.

Project Management is written to help you carry out your projects successfully. The lessons do not presume any prior knowledge of managerial or technical subjects. Successful management of any project depends not only on careful scheduling, adequate resources, and continual measurement, it also requires ongoing and clear communication. This third edition contains new emphasis on the importance of ensuring understanding through good listening skills.

Questionnaires, checklists, and exercises are used throughout the book to emphasize the material presented. Work through these elements as you go along. They will reinforce the concepts you are learning. Successful project management is within your grasp. Simply read, understand, and apply the ideas contained in this book.

This book outlines the critical project-management tools which include learning the four phases of a project’s life cycle, planning for quality, time, and cost to make the best use of your resources, controlling your work-in-progress with interim reviews, and bringing your project to a successful conclusion. The principles of project management are applicable at all levels of an organization. Whether you are managing a construction project or software development, an office relocation or a class reunion, your project will run more smoothly using the tools outlined here. This book shows you how to use the basics of project planning and tracking and how to combine them with the negotiating skills needed to succeed at project management.
