Description: "Since the original 1995 publication of the now-classic Fundamentals of Project Management, Project Management Institute (PMI) membership has mushroomed from a few thousand professionals to over 80,000. Organizations are hiring project management professionals to oversee time and cost-sensitive initiatives from IT to manufacturing, and in many cases are having their own employees trained and PMI-certified. But how do companies with no project management experience get started?".

"Fundamentals of Project Management, now in its second edition, provides executives with an excellent introduction to this highly effective discipline. Using a simple, step-by-step approach, the book shows you how to spearhead every stage of a project, from developing the goals and objectives to managing the project team.

You'll learn the essential steps for defining goals, setting up project plans, assigning and scheduling work, monitoring progress, and exercising control to achieve desired project results."--BOOK JACKET.
