| Summary |
This book builds knowledge and skills on the technical aspects of the project life cycle, the tools to plan project activities and budget, and tools to accurately determine the status of business projects. Business projects are different from the construction or engineering projects that entail a sequential process. The business projects face enormous uncertainty and demand localized treatment in carrying the project tasks. Equally important and challenging is the goal of satisfying a wide variety of stakeholder demands. Project Managers must therefore understand the detailed technical tools, as well as leadership, accountability, organizational structures, and alliances with external organizations. Hence, this book also discusses the systems thinking approach in planning and implementation of business projects. |
