This book provides you with the tools required to approach and manage projects. These effective skills will impact positively on the success of both the projects you are involved with and of your organization. A practical handbook for both career project managers and those involved intermittently with projects throughout their career

Brief and visually led, the Toolkit is designed to get you up and running fast and to increase the certainty of a positive project outcome from day one. Focused on the needs of engineering and other technical project managers, but generic enough to support projects in other areas. Supported by downloadable online project planning templates that enable the techniques developed in the book to be applied in practice. Comprehensive real world case studies demonstrate the use of tools.

Provides simple step-by-step tools for understanding and managing each of the project value-add stages:

• Developing a business case
• Robust planning
• Staying in control
• Delivering benefits

Project Management Toolkit introduces the whole project life-cycle. It is the first of four project management titles that separately build skills in critical PM areas and together provide a powerful project management resource.

Audience

Engineering Project Managers and students taking professional or academic project management courses
