Key Features
While there are many project management books on the market today, this book serves two important purposes: to learn and to practice project management. This book differentiates from the rest of the project management in the following ways:
1. This book presents project management mainly from a consulting perspective that emphasize good practices, fact and data driven, stakeholder management, and applying problem-solving tools and techniques. There are twelve useful templates built into the book.
2. Throughout the book, the emphasis is on how to best optimize project management for your organization, whether it is to determine the best approach (e.g. predictive versus adaptive versus hybrid) or tailoring processes, tools, and techniques.
3. This book serves as both a guide and an introductory undergraduate and graduate level textbook to project management including a combination of common and best practices and research literature. The book will also contain project management cases, scenarios, war stories, and insights.
4. This book will also contain some of the most common project management tools and techniques such as project charter, risk register, issues log, stakeholder analysis, user story, and change request form, and post project evaluation form.
5. This book is aligned closely with the current PMI Standards including the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide) and ISO 21502: Project, Programme and Portfolio Management ― Guidance on Project Management.
6. Perhaps most importantly, this book comes with a comprehensive case study (30+ pages) that illustrates the concepts and how to apply project management.
