Отрывок из книги

Projects have been around since ancient times. Noah building the ark, Leonardo da Vinci painting the Mona Lisa, Edward Gibbon writing The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire and Dr Fiona Wood inventing spray-on skin for burn victims – all projects. And, as you know, these projects were all masterful successes. (Well, the products were a spectacular success, even if schedules and resource budgets were sometimes overrun!)

Why, then, is the topic of project management of such great interest today? The answer is simple: The audience has changed and the stakes are higher.

.....

Project Management Essentials For Dummies is an introductory guide to project management that covers the essentials. But don’t be misled – the text still navigates all the critical tools and techniques you’ll need to support your project planning, scheduling, budgeting, organising and controlling.

Each chapter is self-contained, so you can read the chapters that interest you the most first, without feeling lost because you haven’t read the book from front to back.
