Features: To maintain a competitive advantage in today's competitive environment, an organization (company) must possess sufficient flexibility and the ability to lead change. Traditional rigid management models will gradually be abandoned, replaced by project-based management models, which can more effectively deliver value to customers and the organization itself. "The Project Management Handbook" (2nd Edition) provides rich and comprehensive practical guidance on how to implement strategic change and how to efficiently enhance an organization's project management capabilities. The structure of the entire book is very clear and complete: First, it elucidates the significant contribution of project management to the strategic development of organizations in the current era, which is highly valuable for senior management. Then, it introduces the best practices for managing projects from two perspectives: management functions and management processes. Finally, it combines practical applications from multiple industries to explain how an organization should manage multiple projects, establish effective project management processes and systems, evaluate the organization's project management, and manage international projects. The content selection and expression of "The Project Management Handbook" also have distinctive features. It often uses case studies to convey the author's insights into project management, vividly helping readers explore the essence of project management.
