A Project Manager's Storybook (With Cases)

by John Tracy

Now with 15 exam review questions per knowledge area chapter, "A Project Manager's Storybook (With Cases)" was born of a need for a different type of companion book to the "Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK(R) Guide)". The questions have been updated for Edition Six of the Guide. The book focuses on experiential stories that make the PMBOK(R) Guide come alive, delivering cases that are easy to read, relevant to today's classroom audiences and focused on producing key project artifacts. The fifteen PMP Exam review questions per chapter focus on key artifacts as well as PMBOK(R) Guide Edition Six changes. For the reader wanting to learn what the business of project management is about or gain another perspective on its application and its meaning, there is a host of benefits that can be derived from the book and its experience-based vs. ivory tower focus. Real world case studies in areas such as planning for a wedding or completing a procurement plan and risk register when starting a new business leave the reader with useful tools after setting the book aside. For the reader wanting to pass the CaPM or PMP Exam(R), it is an easy companion read to PMBOK(R) Guide Edition Six that supports and helps explain the utility of that guide, with some sample exam questions as an additional learning tool. For students engaged in Certificate or Associate/Bachelors Degree Programs in Project Management or a related discipline, the book should help in completing that foundation. For professional educators and their institutions, it should serve as a competitively-priced companion guide to the PMBOK(R) Guide and other management program textbooks, including the author's own Sample CAPM(R) and PMP(R) exam books.
