Each part will be discussed with explanation of its sub-parts.This body of work is written while working in California's Silicon Valley as project manager, and teaching project management to MBA students. The intent of this work is to clarify the various methodologies applied in project management and simply these concepts to those learning project management, and to those studying it.
