Project management as a discipline grew out of the need during WWII for a system to manage the schedule, cost, and specifications of large multi-task projects. Since that time, the use of project management techniques in general business has risen sharply, and well-respected firms have used project management techniques to increase market share, enhance the quality of final products, and improve customer service. Dividing the management of projects into 5 general activities, this book provides a straight-ahead, step-by-step process for getting a project done on schedule, under budget, and according to performance specifications.
