Why do projects fail? The rate of project failure remains high despite the use of project management methodologies, bodies of knowledge and new technologies. Project Management explores the risk and complexity inherent in project management and the potential problems that can arise. Drawing on the author's real life experiences, the book suggests actions and techniques that can be taken to help detect, prevent and resolve problems before they can have a major impact on a project.
Focusing on both PMBoK and PRINCE2 methodologies and packed full of real life examples and revision questions, Project Management is an ideal text for undergraduate, postgraduate and MBA students taking a module in project management. It will also be an invaluable resource for practicing project managers.
An ideal course text that helps students to identify, manage and solve problems that arise during the lifecycle of projects. This problem-based approach encourages students to develop analytical and problem-solving skills and to get a more complete understanding of the factors that contribute to project success.
