As we enter the first decade of the twenty-first century, our perception of project management
has changed. Project management, once considered nice to have, is now recognized
as a necessity. Organizations that were opponents of project management are now advocates.
Management educators of the past, who preached that project management could not
work, are now staunch supporters. Project management is here to stay.
This text discusses the principles of project management. Students who are interested
in advanced topics in project management, as well as in best practices in implementation,
may wish to read one of my other texts, Applied Project Management (New York: Wiley,
2000).
