Samenvatting:

This book is aimed at emphasizing the fundamental concepts by approaching project management in Information Technology (IT) from a balanced perspective of theory and practice. Presenting the information in an abstracted form, the text guides the students through all the phases of project life cycle - Initiation, Planning, Execution, Monitoring and Control, and Closing. Besides such general management activities, this book comprehensively deals with all the critical dimensions of projects such as scope, time, cost, quality, human resources, communication, risk, procurement and integration in order to enhance the reader's under-standing of technical competencies required in project management. The second edition has been completely reorganized and considerable amount of new material has been added to make the topics self-contained.This text is well suited for academic courses on IT Project Management or for conducting equivalent training programmes for IT professionals. IT project managers aspiring to get appropriate certification (e.g. PMP [based on PMBOK 2004] from PMI USA) will greatly benefit by reading this book. This book will be equally useful to the busy professionals who wish to grasp the essentials without attending a formal instructional course.
