Project Management: A Complete Guide

by Bo Tonnquist, Jens Horluck

Project management is aimed at everyone who works with project management, program management, or portfolio management. Project management can be used for training and educational purposes, and as a handbook when executing projects or during a certification process. The disposition of the book follows a project's flow. Sections on project methodology are mixed with chapters on leadership and personal development. Content and terminology are adapted to match PMI's and IPMA's view on project management. Project management covers all areas a project manager should command to professionally execute projects and manage programs. Thanks to the clear and pedagogic disposition of the book, no previous knowledge in project management is needed to take advantage of the content. Project management also deals with change management, project maturity and the project office, which should appeal to any business executive and decision maker who holds responsibility for the development of the organization and the utilization of resources.

Read only diagonally as part of school work. We didn't walk through ut systematically and study emphasis was elsewhere so potentially could have gotten more value out of this book.

Lots of well-researched information and insightful thoughts are compiled into this book. I will keep it as a key reference book for my project works for sure. A heavy-read due to the many theories introduced. More case illustrations might help. Overall, the book is of great help.
