The historical evolution of culture and human society is intertwined with the implementation of projects, in which human and economic resources are organized to produce specific beneficial results. Regardless of the type of project (infrastructure project, military operation, banking procedures), the organized approach to its implementation, namely project management, is a necessary condition for the success of the project.

This book stands out from most books in its genre due to its structured knowledge in the field of Project Management and the extensively described techniques it presents.

It examines project management techniques and is designed in such a way as to introduce you step by step to the most recent programming and control techniques, especially those used by Project Management Software programs and included in the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK, 1996).

Over the past 10 years, project management as a profession has expanded and been applied to a wide range of large and small projects. The Project Management Body of Knowledge has been revised and now includes 9 knowledge areas, while employers increasingly encourage their managers to obtain professional certification in project management, a qualification compatible with the quality management system of companies. Project management techniques are now used outside traditional fields, and many large companies, in their efforts to break down their work into small and easily manageable units, have adopted the approach of project-centric management (management-by-project).

Furthermore, the continuous support of all proposed project management techniques with examples and exercises helps the reader seeking specific solutions to immediately proceed with solving the specific problem that concerns them.

It also includes:

New chapters on the project life cycle and risk management

A wealth of examples and practical exercises

The latest developments in the field of information technology programs related to Project Management.
