The Project Management Memory Jogger : A Pocket Guide for Project Teams

This second edition retains the essential features that made the first edition so popular and is aligned with A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK Guide). In addition to all of the steps, proven tips, tools and templates, the new edition features new sections on - Project Communication Plan - Cross Cultural Teams - Project Procurement Plan - Project Quality Plan - Organizational Change Management - Project Contingency - Projects vs Operations and expanded segments on working with teams, virtual team tips, scope (customer analysis and SMART Criteria), risk, scheduling (critical path), monitoring & control, (earned value), and many more additions. Finally, there is a new section on consensus based decision making tools to help project teams from The Memory Jogger 2 Second Edition.
