The book first tackles the basics of project management, including the fundamental disciplines and processes required to insure that projects are brought to successful completion. An invaluable reference for experienced practitioners, this section also acts as a helpful study guide for project management novices, with chapters specifically corresponding to those found in the latest edition of the PMBOK#65533; Guide. Moving beyond the individual project, section two looks at the history and current state of project management as a profession, highlighting the latest trends from a global perspective. The book considers ethics, professionalism, and career development with a look at how they affect you as a project management practitioner.

Section three covers these increasingly important organizational challenges. Section four brings together writers on some of the leading-edge topics in project management to provide a glimpse of where the discipline and the organizations in which it is practiced may be heading, taking a careful look at new methodologies, organizational structures, and globally diverse teams. Finally, in section five, the book considers how the basics of project management must be adapted to the environments found in different industries and professions including construction and engineering, new product development, information technology, and others. This second edition of The AMA Handbook of Project Management is acomprehensive reference that should have a place on every project manager's bookshelf.
