Real World Project Management: Beyond Conventional Wisdom, Best Practices, and Project Methodologies

Real-World Project Management Experienced project managers consider the Project Management Institute's A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) an indispensable resource. Yet, there is a significant disconnect between the way PMBOK describes project management frameworks and how actual projects unfold in the real world. Real-World Project Management fills that gap by discussing and describing project management with all its messiness and daily complications. This in-depth guide cuts through the theory to cover the practical-and sometimes ugly-realities of real projects. In addition, while PMBOK looks at a wide variety of tools and techniques with little focus, Real-World Project Management explores the most vital tools and techniques with detailed instructions on making them work in real projects. Where PMBOK fails, Real-World Project Management succeeds-your projects will too.Perrin, Richard is the author of 'Real World Project Management: Beyond Conventional Wisdom, Best Practices, and Project Methodologies', published 2008 under ISBN 9780470170793 and ISBN 0470170794.
