Overview

This work covers the framework of project management, a discipline that is flavour of the month in many quarters. The aims of Project Management Framework are to understand project management and to stimulate and contribute to a structured way of thinking in applying this discipline. In the book, a systems view to project management is described, based on the realisation that management is a synthesis or inverse problem. One of the overriding reasons for writing this book was to counter the myriad of misconceptions and thinking errors that exist among project management writers and practitioners. In addition, the usage of correct terminology and application of the right level of thinking are discussed as factors contributing to the heart or more mature management practices. The subject matter is developed in this edition through looking at the fundamentals of projects and management and subsequently through studying the chronological development of the project life cycle. In order to support theory, numerous case examples from diverse industries are included.; Aspects that are generally not available elsewhere are highlighted, whereas project management materials that are readily available in other texts have been deliberately omitted. This book is intended to serve student, teachers and practitioners. As only very few prerequisites are needed apart from a basic interest in projects, some exposure to the discipline and a systematic thinking ability, this book serves a broad group of interested readers who want to know about the discipline.
