As corporate executives and their counterparts in the public sector expect project managers to assume many of the responsibilities of functional management indeed, as we look to project managers to become miracle workers pulling together great teams of specialists to create products of enormous complexity we need to make sure that the principles and applications of the project management process are thoroughly understood at all levels of the organizational hierarchy. This book will help executives, government officials, project managers, and project team members visualize and then successfully apply the process. I recommend this book to all those who aspire to project management, those who must supervise it in their organizations, or even those who are simply fascinated with how leading-edge technologies make it out ofthe laboratory and into the market.
