Projects tend to take longer and cost more than expected. How is it possible to balance the many demands on a project manager in order to improve a project's outcome? Project Management shows how to be a successful project manager by exploring how projects are initiated, evaluated, and selected. It also addresses all phases of project planning, the use of CPM and PERT to schedule tasks, and how to make trade-offs between the various project constraints. The book tackles many other subjects as well, including change management, project estimating, risk management, reporting, and project management at the enterprise level. In short, Project Management is intended to improve the performance of a new project manager, as well as to refine the skills of a more experienced one.
