Informazioni sul libro
A practical guide for putting PMBOK concepts to work
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 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.

- If you are using benchmarks for improving performance, take a baseline measurement of your current performance.
- Identify areas in your own company, leaders in the industry, or leaders in other industries with similar processes. These are your “targets” to measure against. You may need to talk with industry peers, consultants, vendors, associations, or other resources to help you discover the industry leaders (targets).
- Depending on who and where your target is, and what you are benchmarking, you may be able to easily identify the best practices, such as when you are using a target that is internal to your organization. If the target is external, or even a competitor, you may need to gather business intelligence, work with a consultant, or find some other way to determine how they achieve their performan...
