What it argues
A practical guide, shared with the course by permission, that presents project management as a sequence of steps with an associated tool for each, balancing client and company needs. It runs from a scoping agreement, requirements statements and a task list, through the work breakdown structure, schedules and resource and cost planning, to tracking and closing out the project.
