Now more than ever, effective project management is critical for the success of any deliverable, and the demand for qualified Project Managers has leapt into nearly all sectors. The tenth edition of Project Management: A Managerial Approach provides a robust grounding in essentials of the field using a managerial approach to both fundamental concepts and real-world practice.

Experienced authors Meredith, Mantel and Shafer have addressed the topic of project management from the perspective of what the project manager will encounter both chronologically during the "life cycle" of the project, as well as practically in the sense of what the project manager needs to know and why.
