註釋
Fundamentals of Project Management 2ed
has been written for those new to
project management who need a broad
based introduction and explanation of
the tools and techniques, terminology
and definitions associated with the body
of knowledge, and need an explanation
of the calculations used by the planning
software.
At this level, it is essential the learners know how to perform all the calculations and administration functions. This book provides plenty of exercises and worked examples to guide them through the process. As a project coordinator or a project expeditor, the team members will be responsible for data collection, monitoring, processing, reporting and administration. This book will also be of value to contractors, suppliers, consultants and other stakeholders who participate in projects and need to be aware of the project management process.
Author's Note:
Fundamentals of Project Management (second edition) has been updated and comprehensively expanded to include the latest planning and control techniques as outlined in the PMBOK 6ed, APM BoK 6ed and the planning software. This successful book has become the international standard text for teaching project management theory and techniques. This book is ideal for project managers who need to understand the basic principles and techniques so that they can plan and control their projects effectively. Team members working through the project office who perform a range of administration functions will also benefit, as will contractors and suppliers who participate in projects.
Education and Professional:
This book has been designed to support a range of undergraduate, postgraduate and short courses together with preparing project managers for professional certification (PMP). The text is supported with plenty of worked examples, exercises and case studies to help explain how to calculate and apply the special project management tools and techniques.
Body of Knowledge Mapping:
A special feature of this book is the body of knowledge mapping at the beginning of most chapters. The chapters are mapped to the relevant body of knowledge areas and definitions. This will help course directors designing new courses and learners preparing for their PMP certification based on the latest body of knowledge.
