Review: "Since the publication of the classic Fundamentals of Project Management almost ten years ago, membership in the Project Management Institute has grown from a few thousand to nearly 250,000. In today's time-based and cost-conscious business world, more companies are enlisting the expertise of project managers to oversee their programs. Every year, organizations lose billions of dollars on canceled or over-budget projects. Effective project management is the only way to reduce these costly errors and ensure a successful close. But how do companies guarantee that their initiatives will stay on track and under budget?" "Fundamentals of Project Management, now in its third edition, provides executives with an excellent introduction to this highly specialized, schedule-intensive discipline. Using a simple, step-by-step approach, the book shows you how to control every stage of a project, from developing the goals and objectives to managing the project team."--BOOK JACKET.
