This book focuses on the project manager’s role as integrator of the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK®) knowledge areas. It provides a general explanation of project management, some insights into its processes, and suggestions on how to manage projects. Topics covered include: an introduction to project management, definition and content of project and program management, the project life cycle, modeling project management, internal interfaces of the project environment, external interfaces of the project environment, project-oriented controls, successful project management, a historical perspective, and project management applications.
A Framework for Project and Program Management Integration is your first step in recognizing that learning about project management is learning about a process—the process of managing change.
