Book Synopsis

Project Skills describes the best of the accepted project management techniques, taking the guesswork out of deciding which ones to apply at which stage. The authors present a practical and accessible guide to managing projects of all sizes, not just large scale ones. They also present essential 'people' skills that are vital to making a project succeed. These include leadership skills, motivating others to deliver, communicating, holding meetings and how to manage change.
