Projects range from simple to complex, with a definite beginning and a definite end. In manufacturing, as an example, the production of each unit of a product is defined as a project. The lifecycle goes from raw material to the product delivery stage, with steps in between managed as a rigorous project. This book covers the mechanics of project management and offers the requirements for executing a project using a systems-engineering framework and the project management body of knowledge, as advocated by the Project Management Institute. It includes the nuts and bolts for untangling the knots that often exist in project execution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeatures\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eOffers a unique guide to management projects, both big and small, in all spheres of human endeavor \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePresents the nuts and bolts of untangling the typical knots in project execution in a step-by-step format \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eApplies to all types of projects, including technical, manufacturing, financial, science, engineering, and personal projects \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides a structured guide to the application of project management techniques \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUses the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) framework from the Project Management Institute (PMI) as the platform for the topics covered, coupled with a systems view \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAddresses technical and managerial aspects of projects in every industry \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProf. Badiru\u003c\/strong\u003e is Dean and senior academic officer for the Graduate School of Engineering and Management at the Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT).
