Gower Handbook of Project Management
18 June 2008
This is a handbook for project management practitioners aiming to give an introduction and an overview to the essential knowledge required for managing projects.
This fourth edition builds on the successful structure of previous editions, and chapters have now been added on benefits management, requirements management, and project management maturity. The chapter of programme management has been split to recognise the difference between programmes and portfolios. There are four parts:
• Projects: describing the context of projects in organizations, and their nature • Performance: describing how to manage the delivery of the project, covering scope, quality, cost, time, resources, risk, etc
• Process: describing the project management life-cycle and each stage of it
• People: describing how to manage the people working on projects. This latest edition of an encyclopaedia for the discipline and profession of project management is a classic that no-one in the field should be without.
Also available as a CD ROM for readers who need to access the material via computer, either because they are working remotely from their library or because they find it an easier format to carry with them. Each chapter is supplied in .PDF format and can be accessed from a main menu. This book is normally priced £95.00 AJP readers can get a 20% discount by quoting SW/AJP07 when ordering.
