Project Management Techniques

PROJECT MANAGEMENT TECHNIQUES has been written for the experienced project manager who is responsible for producing the project's deliverables on time, within budget and to the required quality as outlined in the project charter. At this level, the project manager needs to know how to develop and manage a planning and control system that integrates all the team members, resources, contractors, suppliers, stakeholders and components of the project. This book will help the project manager develop decision-making skills to trade off conflicting parameters and individual plans to enable the project to converge on an optimum project plan, build-method and execution strategy. Reporting to the project sponsor, the project manager is appointed as the project's single point of responsibility and authorized to use company resources as outlined in the project charter.
