Recommendation

This comprehensive overview of project management (PM) nicely separates it from other disciplines involved in business projects. PM consultant Eric Verzuh outlines the ins and outs of the field and includes resources for preparing for the project management professional certification exam. He delves into product development, problem solving, enterprise PM and project portfolio management, as well Microsoft Project software – all valuable references. Use this like any textbook and as a solid starting point for exploring the topic. Some knowledge of PM language will help you reap its full benefits.

Take-Aways

  • The project management framework helps businesses innovate rapidly and create value.
  • All stakeholders must agree on project goals.
  • Develop a plan for the overall path – with clear responsibilities – to measure progress.
