About this title

Synopsis

For project managers in charge of complicated, 10-person-plus projects, one of the best ways to take control and produce predictable, repeatable results is to focus on both complex theory and practical techniques.

Modern Project Management helps them do that, filling in the knowledge gaps and answering the questions of this often misunderstood process. By going through project management step-by-step, the book presents an integrated approach that balances theory, methods, psychology, and practice, and helps even novice project managers achieve superior results. Readers will learn how to:

* Plan the project to maximize productivity
* Motivate others to execute the plan
* Analyze the actual results
* Rework and tune the plan as the project is executed.

Also included with this book is a project management toolset called Modern Manager. Easily installed on a personal computer, this software is far more than just a scheduler. It features tools designed to help project managers plan, estimate, monitor, and control projects.
