A Project Manager's Book of Tools and Techniques

A Project Manager’s Book of Tools and Techniques is an invaluable resource for students and working professionals alike. Whether you’re preparing for the PMP^® exam or just looking to optimize your project management skills, this book provides detailed explanations for over 100 essential tools described in the Project Management Institute’s A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK^® Guide) – Sixth Edition. Going beyond theory and concept to real-world practice, these tools and techniques are the “how” of effective project management; from planning, to implementation, to oversight, and beyond, all phases of the project are represented here to help you more effectively apply critical PMBOK^® Guide concepts. Comprehensive examples illustrate real-world implementation, and detailed discussion provides expert guidance for both new and experienced project management professionals.

Knowing what to do is much different from knowing how to do it; even perfect understanding of the PMBOK^® Guide doesn’t automatically translate into effective practice. This book is designed to help you bridge that gap and expertly apply current project management standards.

• Delve deeper into the practical tools described in the PMBOK^® Guide – Sixth Edition

• Follow detailed examples that illustrate effective project management methods

• Master project management applications in preparation for the PMP^® exam

• Graduate from theory to practice with powerful tools and techniques for success

Concepts are only valuable once they are applied—and then they become a skill set that gets results. The PMBOK^® Guide is the ultimate authority on project management concepts, but translating those concepts into applicable skills requires a detailed understanding of the tools of the field. A Project Manager’s Book of Tools and Techniques is a practical manual for putting essential project management concepts into practice.
