Product description

From the Back Cover

The must-have manual to understand and use the latest edition of the PMBOK® Guide—Fourth Edition

The professional standard in the field of project management, A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide—Fourth Edition) published by the Project Management Institute (PMI) serves as the ultimate resource for professionals and as a valuable studying and training device for students taking the PMP® exam. Yet its role—as an ANSI Standard for the industry—is often misunderstood and its content was never intended to be used as a textbook.

A User's Manual to the PMBOK® Guide takes the next logical step to act as a true user's manual. Its accessible format and easy-to-understand language helps to not only distill essential information contained in the PMBOK® Guide—Fourth Edition, but also fills an educational gap by offering instruction on how to apply its various tools and techniques. This book:

  • Defines each project management process in the PMBOK® Guide—Fourth Edition, describes their intent, and discusses their individual ITTOs (inputs, tools and techniques, and outputs)

  • Features examples, handy tips, and sample forms to supplement learning

  • Is written by an author who was project manager for the PMBOK® Guide—Fourth Edition

  • Contains a data flow diagram of each process in the PMBOK® Guide—Fourth Edition to show how information is distributed

A User's Manual to the PMBOK® Guide simplifies the PMBOK® Guide—Fourth Edition to provide the springboard from which successful project management processes are interpreted and carried out in the real world. Thorough in coverage and rich in content, this manual is a worthy companion to augment the important strategies laid out in the PMBOK® Guide—Fourth Edition—and the one book that aspiring or professional project managers should never be without.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Even though I was a writing major in college, I sort of tripped into writing as a career path. I started as a technical editor for a few books, and then got an offer to write one myself. From there I have been fortunate enough to publish consistently.

I have two new books coming out. In November of 2017 the third Edition of the Project Manager’s Book of Forms was released. In January of 2018 the Project Manager’s Book of Tools and Techniques will be released. These two books align with the PMBOK® Guide – Sixth Edition.

The Book of Forms has a new format and provides a link to download the forms electronically. The electronic version of the forms has been much improved. The Book of Tools and Techniques takes a deep dive into many of the techniques we use to manage projects. It describes the tool/technique and then provides a mini-case study on how it would be used. I think this will be really helpful for new and experienced project managers.

I hope these books are useful to you. Thank you for stopping by my author page.
