Project Management Explained

There are numerous concepts and terms in the field of project management that can be daunting and abstract. This book, based on the experience of TAPUniversity's teaching hundred's of project management courses, has selected 162 of the most common project management concepts to explain in a way that is easy to understand. Critical Path Method can be better understood when the project is baking a batch of chocolate chip cookies and Earned Value Management can make more sense when the project is restoring an old car in the garage. This book was born of entries on TAPUniversity’s blog which has gained increasing interest to the point that an organized collection of the topics in a single source was necessary. This book may be used by project managers preparing to take their PMP Exam as a companion to the PMBOK® or as a resource for seasoned project managers. All processes and terminology are consistent with the Project Management Institute® ’s fourth edition PMBOK.
