Who This Book Will Benefit

This book is primarily written for project managers who are responsible for IT projects. However, because the management tools and techniques are applicable to any project, anyone responsible for projects, particularly projects with multiple interfaces and system integration requirements, will benefit from this study.

This book will also benefit functional and other senior managers who are striving to develop a project-oriented organization. There are numerous tips and suggestions throughout the book for structuring support processes and the guidelines required for successful project management.
