Project Workflow Management

“Project Workflow Management is an excellent guide to what needs to be done in a project, while explaining how it can be done. The richness of unique concepts, formulas, and templates in this book make it a one-stop reference for all new and experienced project managers, anyone studying or teaching project management, and for organizations that are standardizing their project management methodologies.”

About the Item


Foreword by industry legend Harold Kerzner!


This book describes a completely unique step-by-step, workflow-guiding approach to project management that simplifies activities by enforcing execution of all required processes on time, and redirecting to an alternative path in the event of project issues. Since compliance with all project management processes is enforced by the workflow, product quality is significantly improved and life cycle errors are almost eliminated.


Project Workflow Management: A Business Process Approach is the first and only book in the marketplace which enables readers with no prior project management experience to manage the entire life cycle of any small to mid-sized project. It also equips mid- and senior-level project managers with directions and a detailed map to the effective management of complex projects and programs.
