Project Planning and Management (PPM)

Project Planning & Management (PPM)

 
PPM helps prepare the reader to contribute confidently and effectively when working on projects or in managing project teams. PPM aims to be a useful guide for students, consultants, managers, scientists, and others who are involved in projects or project management, in business, research corporations, or governmental institutions.

PPM concentrates  on the output of a project as well as the whole process. Projects cannot be managed properly without a clear understanding of the company in which the project resides, and of the values expected from the outputs. Further, it emphasises the necessity of complexity management, risk assessment, careful planning, and effective people management.

In PPM, a highly pragmatic approach is combined with refreshing and innovative ideas. Experienced project managers will appreciate the wealth of practical experience that the authors put in, while students will appreciate the clearness of the approach and ease of use of the methods and tools. 

Although written  for projects in the areas of IT and knowledge management, PPM can also be used for projects in other areas.
