Abstract:
"Project Management Techniques (5ed) has been written to enable the experienced project manager to use the latest planning and control techniques, processes, principles and methodologies to complete their projects successfully in the Industry 4.0 economy. This is often expressed as completing the project deliverables on time, within budget and to the required quality as outlined in the business case and project charter. The chapters are presented in a logical sequence, which forms the structure of most certified project management courses. The content of the chapters clearly explains the configuration and plans of the key subject areas, with plenty of definitions, worked examples, case studies and exercises. As we enter the early stages of the 4IR, this book shows how AI cyber-physical technology and Agile techniques can be used to enhance traditional project lifecycle planning and control systems. This book is designed to support: Corporate in-house courses. Professional development courses. Support resources (PowerPoint slides and MCQs) are available for lecturers." -- Provided by publisher.
