Product Description

Book Description

This hands-on resource offers managers the cutting-edge information and effective tools they need to support and sustain the project management climate that is so vital to organisational growth.

From the Back Cover

Projects have been around since ancient times: Noah building the Ark, Leonardo da Vinci painting the Mona Lisa, landing a man on the moon - all projects.

Over the past decade, the number of projects has exploded in the workplace. Projects, from large to small, are the way companies and organisations get work done. Project Management For Dummies dispels the notion that projects are large, technically complex undertakings that only MBA's can manage. This handy reference shows readers everything from how to assemble the right team, to figuring out a schedule, estimating needed resources, and managing the project as it progresses.

Also included are real-life project management problems such as: how to get results when you have no direct authority over participants, what to do when team members don't follow through, how to handle differing departmental agendas and how to balance your regular work with additional project management/participation responsibilities.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great introduction to project management, Mar 11 2003
By 
Kevin Archbold "www.consulting,ky" (Tucson, AZ United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Project Management For Dummies (Paperback)
A solid book that introduces many tools and techniques central to project management. If you have to manage projects in addition to doing your "real work" this book is for you. If you're a project manager by profession, you should be past this book by now.

2.0 out of 5 stars Too Basic, Nov 26 2001
By 
agkeene (Birmingham, Alabama USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Project Management For Dummies (Paperback)
Individuals with any experience in running a project, whether it is a small focused job or a large-scale product development effort, will find subject treatises too fundamental. The chapters lack the in-depth coverage and focus as the apparent goal is to present a broad-based overview of basic concepts in the field of project management.

Here is a guideline to use in deciding whether or not to purchase this book:
How comfortable are you with using the Microsoft Project software?
If you are very comfortable with MS Project, I recommend that you try "A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge" instead.
If you have never used MS Project and/or have no idea what it does, then you should probably buy this book.
