Almost every manager and businessperson finds at some time they need to complete a task that has sufficient complexity and importance that an ad-hoc approach to getting it done is just not enough.
Managers in this common situation need the structure and rigour of a project management approach, yet very few managers are formally trained in project management or have the inclination, time or finances to become trained. They need an approach they can feel confident is sufficiently robust to ensure their success, but also simple enough to be immediately applicable. Project Management Step by Step provides the solution to this problem; a practical and immediate way to become a competent project manager.
The author of this book has also developed an interactive project management game with Totem Learning, which can be played as a stand-alone learning experience or used as a case study in a more extensive project management training course.
The game is PC based and costs GBP30 per user for a license, with discounts for larger orders. Find out more at http://www.totemlearning.com/onlinetrainingcourses/projectmanagementskills/
