Synopsis

This book provides experience based information for students and those new to the arena of project management, as an introduction to project management. Subjects are discussed to provide initial thought provoking consideration on the ideas presented. These subjects are presented in a sequence aimed at building your project management knowledge in a progressive way. As you read into the book the previous chapters become interconnected with the current text. This reflects the nature of managing a project. An experience based extended definition of goals (from SMART to SMARTER) is described to encourage you to enjoy your work and to reward yourself, and your team, for your achievements. As everyone is different, the intention of this book is that you will start to acquire some knowledge from the book. You should then feel enabled to go on to further reading plus developing your own experience. As your knowledge accumulates you should go forward and grow into being the successful project manager you wish to be.
