Short description
This is the latest edition of the bestselling "bible" of project management. This Tenth Edition maintains the streamlined approach of the prior editions while moving the content closer to the forthcoming fourth edition of PMI's Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMOBOK). Changes to this edition include adding new sections on "scope changes," "exiting a project," "collective belief," "managing virtual teams," and many more. Increased sidebars align with the PMOBOK and the PMP Exam, and a new table informs students how to best use this book to study for the Exam.
