Information Technology Project Management, Second Edition

Each and every recent innovation in Information Technology can be traced back to a project: the behind-the-scenes work that, when correctly managed, results in a new system, a new technology, or a new product in the marketplace. This text builds an unparalleled foundation for tomorrow's creators and managers by providing meaningful examples of real projects-both successful and failed-and applying the lessons they teach to a sound framework in IT project management.
