Project Management
This book chronicles the exploits of Brad—a fictional character
who’s been thrust into the wonderful world of project
management. Just like many project management professionals
I’ve met in my many years in the field, he was drawn into the
battle reluctantly, but he emerged wanting more.
And as you will soon discover, project management is actually
a curious combination of art and science. The artistry refers
to the leadership part of the role, or the people component. The
science—which we will explore with Brad—consists of the tools
and techniques that form the underpinnings of the entire project
management process. But instead of simply providing information
on project management tools and their proper use, this
book will explore the principles behind their use. This marriage
of tools and the principles behind them yields a powerful, plainlanguage
guide that not only explains how to do things, but
why they need to be done.
The book presents a realistic view of project management—
a very difficult, yet rewarding profession. The role of project
manager is a particularly challenging job. Actually, many practicing
project managers consider overcoming challenges to be
the essence of their job
