Dalla quarta di copertina

If you’re a project manager, you know about the permanent crunch caused by limited time, scarce resources, and the sheer intricacy of many projects. The Project Management Tool Kit, Second Edition, supplies the clear, concise information you need to get complex projects done—on time, on budget, and with stellar results.

Completely updated throughout, The Project Management Tool Kit, Second Edition, addresses 100 specific project challenges, including all of the processes identified in A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK®Guide).

Sponsorship

Stakeholder expectation management

Stakeholder identification

Requirements collection

Inheriting a project

Forecasting project completion

Project metric selection

Project metric implementation
