How to order 

Ninety seven percent of successful projects are led by an experienced project manager. But getting experience takes time. Until now.

Project Management in the Real World is a short cut to this experience: it summarizes over 250 years' of experience from professional project managers.

Presented in a quick and easy to read format, it contains a wealth of knowledge that can be practically applied in a short period of time. 

Anecdotes and tips are backed up with theory and references, along with case studies from the US, Holland, France, Australia as well as the UK.

Filled with snappy, 'how-to' tips and ideas, project managers will benefit from solid, innovative ideas and learn tricks from professionals to help them deliver projects more successfully.
