Description
One of the key requirements of employers in today's work place are project management skills. This book demonstrates practical skills for managing computer systems projects, without neglecting the vital theoretical underpinnings that must be grasped to ensure complete understanding of this complex area.
Using cases studies and many worked examples to put ideas in context, the authors describe the principles of project management, and how these are distinct from its aims. They also teach the valuable lesson that projects will sometimes fail. Unlike other books, Managing Computer Systems Projects examines the role of the internet in project management, and what implications this may have for the future.
