Riassunto:
Are you managing projects but leaving procurement to chance?
Procurement is one of the most powerful — and most underestimated — levers in project management. Get it right and you accelerate delivery, control risk, and unlock supplier-driven innovation. Get it wrong and you face cost overruns, contract disputes, and cascading delays that no amount of project management skill can fix.
Strategic Procurement for Project Managers: A Value-Driven Guide from Planning to Close gives you the complete framework to master procurement from strategy to close — grounded in the principles of the PMBOK® Guide Seventh Edition and built for how modern projects actually work.
What you'll learn:
- How to shift from cost-focused purchasing to value-driven procurement that delivers real business outcomes
- How to design procurement strategies, make-or-buy decisions, and contract structures that reduce risk and align with project goals
- How to conduct market research, evaluate suppliers, and run solicitations that identify the right partners — not just the lowest bidder
- How to negotiate effectively, manage supplier performance, and handle contract changes without derailing your project
- How to apply agile and hybrid procurement models in fast-moving, complex environments
- How to navigate global and cross-border contracting, digital procurement tools, and emerging technologies
- How to build a Procurement Center of Excellence that elevates procurement capability across your organization
Who this book is for:
Whether you're a PMP® credential holder, an aspiring project manager, a procurement professional, or a senior leader responsible for complex supplier relationships, this book bridges the gap between certification knowledge and real-world procurement leadership.
Packed with 20 structured chapters, real-world case studies from organizations like NASA, Toyota, and Unilever, practical frameworks, and a comprehensive glossary and index, this is the procurement reference you'll return to throughout your career.
Stop managing contracts. Start delivering value.
