Professional project management (Category Management)

As part of the analysis of his bookshelves from old books came across a book by Kim Heldman about project management. It was with this book that I began to get acquainted with this field of management, when I 20 Years ago he studied at the joint master’s degree program MIPT and IBS. At the time, the book seemed interesting and useful, but now it seems to me a formal textbook for preparing for the PMP. (Project Management Professionals) exam. I wonder what. 20 Years ago, I took care of this book and didn't pass the exam, but years ago, 7 I came back to this point and have since become a project management professional. By the way, if you want a book on a similar topic, but a head above, I recommend a book.Rita Mulcahy's PMP® Exam Prep, Tenth Edition"that I mean." earlier.

But if you go back to the book itself, 12 Chapters that give a good idea of project management 1. What's a project? Introduction to the basic concepts, as they say, start with terminology 2. Starting the development of the project Areas of knowledge needed to manage the project, project initiation, goal setting, definition of constraints 3. Creation of the project charter Methodology of selection of projects, initial goals, creation of charter 4. The scope of the project and the creation of the structure of the organization of work determination of the content of the project, the structure of work and their decomposition into blocks 5. Resource planning and evaluation Development of resource and time plans, selection of personnel, cost assessment 6. Monitoring project planning Determination of quality standards, risk planning 7. Drafting a project plan scheduling the project, establishing a baseline estimate 8. Formation of the project team implementation of the project plan (blues, meaningful results)team formation and organization of work, dissemination of information 9. Evaluation and monitoring of project implementation Contract part, quality control, project progress management 10. Monitoring of changes Control of project triangle constraints: scope, time, cost. Developing a response to possible risks 11. Closure of the project - Finalization procedure, administrative + lessons learned 12. Professional responsibility something from the Hippocratic Oath series, but from the point of view of project managers:)

Total: The book covers all key aspects of project management: from integration to risk management.

• The book. 2005 The year is hopelessly outdated and talks about the processes from the PMBoK very old version. (Although the author continued to publish new editions, which have already run 10 pieces)

Now you can look through this old book, but you need to read something fresher to immerse yourself in project activities:)

P.S. I took this book to the booksharing corner in our Moscow office, which is located on 7 On the floor, in case someone wants to flip through the rarity:)
