About the Book

The latest edition of this textbook fills a significant void in the realm of project management tools and techniques, where many existing resources fall short. By seamlessly integrating Microsoft Project into the content, students are equipped with the essential skills needed to excel in project management. The addition of screenshots featuring the most up-to-date Microsoft Project software enables readers to effectively visualize and implement the concepts discussed in the textbook.

The third edition of Project Management Tools and Techniques: A Practical Guide continues to prepare students for certification exams like the Project Management Professional Exam, ensuring they are well prepared for success in their future careers. This updated edition provides a contemporary perspective on this ever-evolving subject, with five new chapters covering project management and its tools, project variability, critical chain theory, and hybrid models.

For both students and instructors, this textbook offers practical examples and videos that bridge the gap between theory and practice in project management. It also includes case studies that provide hands-on experience in applying project management techniques and tools. Lab assignments are included to further enhance learning.

For qualified textbook adoptions, a test bank, PowerPoint slides, and sample data are available to support instructors in their teaching endeavors. To enrich the learning experience, this book is accompanied by a dedicated website designed for both students and instructors.
