With this Second Edition, project management pioneer James Lewis provides updated examples, illustrations, and figures - along with clear, how-to-do-it approaches to help you put a project plan together, assemble, and manage a problem-solving team, eliminate potential stumbling blocks to keep the project on target, and complete the project in an orderly, economical, and timely manner."--BOOK JACKET.

"The ability to skillfully manage a project is essential in today's business world, both for the successes of the projects and for the project managers themselves - whose successes are generally recognized and rewarded. Whether you are currently involved in planning or executing a project, or just want to prepare yourself for the next opportunity, The Project Manager's Desk Reference will provide a template for managing your next project to its successful conclusion."--BOOK JACKET.
