Project Management is the process of managing a temporary but often complex project for a business or organization to deliver an end result that will, ultimately, improve the business and the bottom line. Project managers use a host of strategies specifically designed to increase overall performance and solve large problems. The demand for project managers is increasing steadily and it is a very valuable skill to have. The project manager oversees every aspect of a project, including financial and budgetary issues, resource acquisition, team management, testing, scheduling, monitoring, and many other project-specific issues.

The project itself is only a project because there is a problem that is too complex for any one person or department in the organization to handle in its entirety. Therefore, the responsibility is handed off to a leader who can utilize a team of people to work together toward an optimum solution.

The planning stage is the most important aspect of any project. As you will discover, it is the backbone of any project. When planning, you define a project's parameters, estimate the need for resources, establish a work schedule, form a preliminary budget, evaluate risks, define acceptance testing standards, establish communication protocols, and much more!

In this book you'll find some of the best techniques in the industry. Step-by-step instructions walk you through the process of making solid plans and starting your project off on the right foot. If you plan well, it can make a huge positive impact on the overall success of the project. This book highlights and defines key terms and technical concepts, walking you through the process of producing your own project management plan.

If you're just exploring the field or you're a fairly new project manager, this book can help you identify and develop your personal managerial qualities and give you some of the best project management strategies to integrate into your work.
