Summary
  • "Since the original 1995 publication of the now-classic Fundamentals of Project Management, Project Management Institute (PMI) membership has mushroomed from a few thousand professionals to over 80,000. Organizations are hiring project management professionals to oversee time and cost-sensitive initiatives from IT to manufacturing, and in many cases are having their own employees trained and PMI-certified. But how do companies with no project management experience get started?".
  • "Fundamentals of Project Management, now in its second edition, provides executives with an excellent introduction to this highly effective discipline. Using a simple, step-by-step approach, the book shows you how to spearhead every stage of a project, from developing the goals and objectives to managing the project team.
  • You'll learn the essential steps for defining goals, setting up project plans, assigning and scheduling work, monitoring progress, and exercising control to achieve desired project results."--BOOK JACKET.
