Description
Commercial and competitive pressures place ever greater demands on the project manager and their team. Each project presents its own challenges--size, technical complexity, risk, timescale--and professional management skills of the highest order are needed to ensure success. To be fully effective, project managers (and managers of projects!) need to take decisions from a business perspective and know how to identify and harness all the relevant skills required for the job. Mastering Project Management enables the busy manager to review, extend and sharpen their project management skills. It promotes individual development, personal and organisational effectiveness by: reviewing lessons from past projects and exchanges, experience and ideas; enabling experienced project managers to assess and improve performance and methods; providing practical tools and techniques for the busy manager to improve their projects.
