Projectmanagement: projectmatig werken in de praktijk

by Roel Grit

The primary aim of Project Management is to facilitate the successful completion of projects. For this reason it puts particular emphasis on the importance of careful preparation and strategic co-operation within the project team. The first part of this new textbook offers a description of the project-based approach to the work environment, an analysis of when such an approach is appropriate and an account of how to make projects work. In addition, this part of the book discusses the role of planning software within the project environment. Part Two of the book describes the practical tools and skills needed to tackle projects. A number of the skills outlined in Part Two are also relevant to learning contexts other than projects.

This new edition offers additional material on the life-cycle of the from setting up to completing a project. New sections deal with skills such as brainstorming and decision making in the project group. The text makes for required reading for project management students everywhere.

It's a nice book that reads easy and gives you a good overview and feel of working in a project. But I will not consider it a bible of project management, or a red thread or even a step by step guide. After reading this you will still have a lot of questions about how a project exactly works and how you should set it up. It is however a good fast additional read when you are working in a project. Its also not to big.

It's a very easy book to read and it really helped me with completing several school assignments. This was probably because the assignments were adapted to fit the book, but still.

However, while reading it I kept feeling like a lot of things were left out. Now I know this is supposed to be just 'a practical approach', but it seems more like a checklist of things you need to do and have during the project. For any more specific information you should find another book
