10 Steps to Successful Project Management

Project management is neither easy nor straightforward—it is a complicated, multilayered matter. Whether you are a project management trainer or manage projects for your entire company, for a department, or for yourself, 10 Steps to Successful Project Management and the accompanying downloads will improve your efficiency and effectiveness.

Using a project management software program isn’t enough, as many project managers painfully learn. This book takes you through 10 steps that, if followed correctly, will lead to successful project management. You’ll learn how to determine whether something is a project or a task, build a business case, define the scope of the project, weigh the risks and constraints, and much more. At every step, author Lou Russell presents the key questions to ask before the project begins as well as the potential risks of skipping certain aspects of project management.
