Project Management is a remix and adaptation. The adaptation is a part of the BCcampus Open Textbook project.
The B.C. Open Textbook Project began in 2012 with the goal of making post-secondary education in British Columbia more accessible by reducing student cost through the use of openly licensed textbooks. The BC Open Textbook Project is administered by BCcampus and funded by the British Columbia Ministry of Advanced Education.
Open textbooks are open educational resources (OER); they are instructional resources created and shared in ways so that more people have access to them. This is a different model than traditionally copyrighted materials. OER are defined as teaching, learning, and research resources that reside in the public domain or have been released under an intellectual property license that permits their free use and re-purposing by others (Hewlett Foundation). Our open textbooks are openly licensed using a Creative Commons license, and are offered in various e-book formats free of charge, or as printed books that are available at cost. For more information about this project, please contact opentext@bccampus.ca. If you are an instructor who is using this book for a course, please let us know.
The idea of writing of "free use" books is great but unfortunately this book will not teach you more than the philosophy behind project management no real insight nor educational beside that is a long long dictionary for industry jargon
I enjoyed reading this book. It provides a brief yet clear introduction to project management based on the theory of project lifecycle. Though some knowledge seems to be a little outdated, but most parts are still valuable.
