Project Management Toolkit: The Basics for Project Success, 2nd Edition
Trish Melton
Butterworth-Heinemann
$85
This book provides readers with the tools required to approach and manage projects. The skills covered are designed to impact positively on the success of both the projects the reader is involved with and his or her organisation. The text is written as a practical handbook for both career project managers and those involved intermittently with projects throughout their career. It provides simple step-by-step tools for understanding and managing each of the project value-add stages: developing a business case; robust planning; staying in control; and delivering benefits. Project Management Toolkit introduces the whole project life-cycle. It is the first of four project management titles that separately build skills in critical PM areas and together provide a powerful project management resource.
