本版特色
以《项目管理知识体系指南(第6版)》为基础,新增关于敏捷/自适应环境的讨论、“给年轻专业人士的建议”模块、关于领导力和敏捷开发的内容,同时更新练习题和案例,补充新的研究成果,体现PMP考试的新变化。
强调软件工具的使用,提供Microsoft Project 2016使用指南,还包括使用MindView和蒙特卡罗模拟软件协助项目管理的实例。
每章都以“开篇案例”为起点,在实际项目背景下展开管理概念和技术的主题讨论,用实例说明管理方法“对在哪里”和“错在哪里”,最后以“案例结局”收束全章。
“媒体快照”将抽象概念与媒体报道中的真实项目关联起来,“最佳实践”树立了源于不同企业的项目管理榜样,“全球问题”关注全球化管理如何影响世界的现在和未来。 -
