What does project authorization involve and how should you seek it?

What is earned value and how are the calculations made?

How do you select the appropriate method for handing over a project and what are the pitfalls associated
with the options you
can choose from?

The Project Management A-Z provides you with the answer to these questions and more in an A to Z
coverage of 80 project management techniques. Each one includes an explanation of the technique, how,
when and why you would use it. There are sample forms, checklists of key questions to ask yourself and
others, cross-references to the other techniques within the manual, in fact there is everything to
ensure that you:

* understand the technique and the context in which it is used;
* identify whether or not it will work for you;
* and are able to apply it appropriately and effectively.

If you are just starting a project or deeply engrossed in one, the opportunity to discuss alternative
approaches, or explore the problems and opportunities that the project may throw up is particularly
valuable. Sometimes you may have access to a project mentor or coach who can advise you. The Project
Management A-Z helps fill that role, challenging your perception and helping build your confidence in
the quality of the processes you are using and the decisions you are making. Successful projects are
built on the skills of the project manager, the quality of the basic foundations that are laid, and
sensitive but assertive management of processes and resources. This title should prove a useful
reference to the main techniques for all of these key elements.
