Product Description
Product Description
Successful businesses and organizations create projects that produce desired results in established timeframes with assigned resources. As a result, businesses are increasingly driven to find individuals who can excel in this project-oriented environment. And that's where this guide comes into play.
Reading Project Management For Dummies could help a diverse group of people, some of which include the following:
- Senior managers and junior assistants (the senior managers of tomorrow)
- Experienced project managers and people who've never been on a project team
- People who've had significant project management training and people who've had none
- People who've had years of real-world business and government experience and people who've just entered the workforce
By reading this guide, you'll gain insight into beginning a project, supporting it throughout its life, and bringing it to a successful closure. You'll discover how to manage the uncertainties surrounding a project, and uncover the definitions to the most common project management terms. And you'll figure out how to handle some of the more common project management situations you'll encounter, from dealing with the people involved to organizing the mountains of paperwork.
While most businesses are looking for ways to get a better handle on their projects, what no one is saying is that the majority of people who become project managers aren't doing so by choice. Instead, project management is often an unexpected but required progression in their chosen career paths. Think of this guide as a friend or comfortable resource that has more to share each time you crack it open as you experience new situations in which you can apply the knowledge.

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.

Too Basic,
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:
