Description

Project Management Bootcamp is a pragmatic guide for those who need to understand how to deliver projects successfully. The reader journeys through a project stage by stage, discovering what project managers commonly need to achieve at each step. Each step is supported by tables, charts, tips, and tools, which readers may adopt or adapt to their needs, and different ways of organising and delivering projects, including agile approaches, are considered.

Because theory can only get you so far, a key element of the book is learning from real projects drawing on the experience of project managers working across three continents. Each chapter ends with challenges to readers to reflect on their learning, which can be based on a theoretical case study or their own project. The result is a reflective framework that charts their learning and their project management journey from initiation to closure.

Project Management Bootcamp is essential reading for junior and mid-level career project managers, as well as any professionals who finds themselves in charge of a project and are unsure how to get the best result. Students in business and management courses at undergraduate and postgraduate levels will also value its setting of theory into a practical context.
