6th Edition
by James Lewis
The
go-to guide for getting projects done on time and on budget―revised and
updated with a sophisticated image program and contemporary examples
For
more than 30 years, James P. Lewis's project management bible has been
the benchmark guide for project managers, supervisors, MBA students and
everyone studying to pass the PMP® exam. Packed with information on best
practices, smart strategies, and a comprehensive survey of the issues
you'll encounter as a project manager, it provides an thorough,
applications-oriented understanding of the issues in the practice of
contemporary project management and a useful reinforcement of the
Project Management Institute's recommended success strategies.
Every chapter of Project Planning, Scheduling and Control
contains a wealth of essential information―from the role of the project
manager and description of the PMBOK® Guide to Whole Brain® project
management and how to achieve high performance project management.
Throughout this edition, you'll find all-new data supporting the
information on project definition, planning, execution and control, in
chapters that include "Headless-Chicken Projects and How to Prevent
Them," "Developing Project Strategy," "Conducting Project Reviews" and
more.
With an entirely new section offering more
strategies on leadership, stakeholder relations, managing a remote team
and beyond, and an appendix that includes helpful sections for schedule
computations, calculations for an AOA network, and constrained end date
scheduling, this latest edition of the classic guide offers the most
up-to-date, thorough and hands-on preparation a project manager―or a
project manager-in-training―can get.
