Project management is seen as a critical skill across a broad range of disciplines. Yet most people, regardless of educational background, have never received training in how to plan, manage, and execute projects. Project Management Essentials, Second Edition, will be the go-to book for tried-and-true project management skills combined with the most current ideas from Agile in a concise, up-to-date, user-friendly format.

It follows the project life cycle and provides several ready-to-use templates. A person can use this book to plan and manage a project from start to finish or as a reference for help with one particular component of project management. Alongside each template is a brief description of what each template is, why it is useful, and an example to illustrate it.
