Long-time project leader and consultant Gregory Horine makes project management more accessible than it's ever been, offering a relentlessly clear and practical introduction to every skill new PMs need, no matter what industry or environment they're working with, or what tools they're using. This easy-to-use tutorial and reference walks through every step of project management from start to finish. Horine covers topics ranging from building project budgets and schedules through managing vendors, and shares indispensable insights about the human side of project leadership. Along the way, he reveals what works and what doesn't, covering everything from IT and outsourced projects to virtual teams. The first two editions of this book earned raves for their simplicity, clarity, and real-world insight - and, above all, for their friendly, mentoring style. This new edition has been updated to include information on the latest web project management tools and the newest version of the Project Management Institute's PMP certification.
