Description
Although there are many books of methods and tools in different areas, few books actually give detailed tips and lessons on how to effectively
set up and manage projects. Most books on project management devote all their space to specific methods. Breakthrough Technology
Project Management, Second Edition provides tangible guidelines through examples and suggestions to help people participate
in and manage projects more effectively. The authors' techniques and guidelines have been proven over the past 15 years in courses and
counseling. This book is a valuable tool for those working in information systems, engineering, computer science, operations and production,
and other environments involving project management.
Audience
This book is best suited as supplemental reading for seasoned project managers who are looking
for fresh ideas or a different approach
that may not have occurred to them. Many of the concepts
discussed can only be applied in specific circumstances, and judging when to
use them takes
some experience. Some have successfully used the book as an introductory text for new
managers or as the basis of a technology
development process.
