Fundamentals of Contracts Management: For Project Managers and Business Owners

by Marion Parker, Rachel Zhang (Editor)

The book is an introduction to contracts management for project managers and business owners, written by an author who hopes it will help readers improve their contracts management skills. Although the book was initially written to help students approach the Project Management Professional (PMP)® exam, it has since evolved into a great resource for professionals in need of basic concepts of contracts management. The book covers topics such as the basics of contracts, contracts management life cycle, country-specific laws, make-or-buy decisions, different types of contracts, risk management for different types of contracts, force majeure, claims, fair deals, and a bank of questions for readers to practice. While some chapters go into detail, the main purpose is to provide readers with an overview of contracts management so they can become familiar with its basics. The book also includes a little practice exercise and encourages readers to practice answering questions to help them better understand the concepts presented in the book.
