“Project Management Improved”, the first part of the series “Management Areas”, shows this often rather dully presented topic from an easy/going and humorous perspective, without missing the appropriate depth. All main issues such as project organization, phases and tasks of an project, multi/project/management, project management standards, criteria for success as well as choice of software are included in this book. Management topics that are relevant for a business’ day/to/day business can be also be transferred to projects: Projects are planned and overseen, responsibilities distributed for specific project activities, and the actions of involved staff are aimed at the completion of the project. However, some specifics, e.g. ways of thinking and working are characteristic for project work. Parallel to building and IT examples, the project “Wedding” will serve to illustrate the most important tasks and phases of a project in an entertaining and playful way.
