This textbook offers a comprehensible and up-to-date introduction to managing projects of all kinds. Working in projects continues to increase rapidly and is already one of the most important forms of work in most companies today. Based on a comprehensive introduction to the terms, approaches, perspectives and structuring possibilities of projects and project management, the book clearly explains the essential planning and control elements with the corresponding methods and instruments. In further sections, the soft skills required for projects - such as self-management, team management, leadership, communication and conflict management - are explained and illustrated using suitable examples. Agile project management and the increasingly important topic of hybrid project management are also presented in a separate chapter.
The concise presentation using a consistent project example and the reader-friendly structure enable the reader to quickly familiarise themselves with the subject area. The book is also suitable as a reference work for practitioners and for self-study.

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
