| This handbook provides a set of principles and processes for
those managers and professionals who want to enhance their
understanding of the theory and practice of project management.
Like all good handbooks, this is a comprehensive reference
source for practical how-to-do-it information. This handbook
also can be used in project management training programs,
as well as in degree programs in universities.
There is a flood of books currently being published about
project management. Unfortunately all too many of these
books take existing works and recast them in a slightly different
light, resulting in minor contributions to the growing literature.
The AMA Handbook of Project Management is a refreshing
change.
This book starts with the Project Management Institute’s
body of knowledge (PMBOK® Guide) and then goes beyond
that through a description of the Project Management profession
and its challenges and coverage of organizational issues
likely to be encountered in the world of project management,
ending with a presentation of industry applications of the project
approach.
The material in the book comes from authors who are
notable contributors in the project management community,
ranging from academics to practitioners who grapple with the
challenges of managing or teaching in the project management
field.
This is a book that should have a conspicuous place on the
bookshelf of anyone who wants to improve their professional
practice in the use of project management knowledge and
skills. |
