Project Management Essentials is a comprehensive study guide that covers key traditional project management concepts, including those outlined in the PMBOK Guide 6th and 7th edition, as well as the basics of hybrid project management. As organizations become more agile and adaptive, hybrid project management approaches are becoming increasingly popular. A hybrid project management approach combines traditional project management with behavior-based principles to provide a flexible framework that can be tailored to meet the unique needs of a project. The book covers core project management topics, including project management concepts, benefits, value, frameworks, and definitions, project management processes for a project, the five process groups, the ten Knowledge Areas, and the 49 project management processes. It also includes information on the 12 principles of project management and the 8 domains of project management as documented in the PMBOK Guide 7th edition. In addition, the book covers essential skills of the project manager, including leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills, and provides study tips and exam-taking strategies for the PMP Exam. Project Management Essentials provides readers with a comprehensive understanding of project management concepts and techniques that they can apply to their own projects, regardless of the approach used.
