Product Description

Introduce exciting opportunities and challenges in technology with Schwalbe's Information Technology Project Management 8E. This unique book demonstrates principles distinctive to managing information technology (IT). No book offers more insights and software tools for IT project management success, including updates that reflect the latest PMBOK Guide, 5E. This edition weaves theory with successful practices for an integrated focus on the concepts, tools, and techniques that are most effective today. This is the only text to apply all 10 project management knowledge areas to IT projects. Students master skills in project integration, scope, time, cost, quality, human resource, communications, risk, procurement, and stakeholder management as well as all five process groups - initiating, planning, executing, monitoring and controlling, and closing.

Intriguing examples, MindView software, and a guide to Microsoft Project 2013 help students refine their marketable skills.

New to the Edition

NEW RUNNING CASE REINFORCES CONCEPTS IN THE BOOK AND ONLINE. A new continuing case is provided at the end of Chapters 4-13 (which encompass the 10 knowledge area chapters.) You can assign this ongoing case to reinforce application of key concepts. For your flexibility, the ongoing case, "Manage Your Health", from the previous edition is provided online along with several additional running cases.
ADDITIONAL EXERCISES THROUGHOUT THE PRINTED TEXT PROVIDE EXTRA PRACTICE. Updated and new exercises in this edition enhance student learning and give you more options for assigning exercises as in-class work or out-of-class homework.
NEW, UPDATED EXAMPLES FROM FAMILIAR LEADING ORGANIZATIONS ILLUSTRATE PROJECT MANAGEMENT IN ACTION. New examples highlight IT project management at work in real companies that students will recognize from the news. These timely, relevant examples illustrate the book’s real-world applications and emphasize the impact of key project management concepts.
THE LATEST RESEARCH IS INTEGRATED THROUGHOUT. Many studies conducted during recent years emphasize emerging developments related to IT project management. Timely studies are summarized and cited throughout this edition.
