Project Management Demystified by Geoff Reiss
Project management is the management of change and this book shows the many techniques which have been developed to help manage projects using very clear objectives within a commercial environment. Examples are drawn from construction, civil engineering, launching products, publishing, computer hardware and software, scientific projects and aerospace, among others. The author covers the role of the project manager, project management concepts and philosophy, implementation of a project management approach, project planning, network diagrams, resource planning and site optimization, cost control, work breakdown structures, progress monitoring and control, motivation, building the project team, tools for project management and software selection criteria. It is intensely practical, aiming to teach project managers how, when and where to use these techniques.
