Features: The traditional concept of project management is a scientific management method proposed based on the three-dimensional coordinate constraints of project implementation. It aims to achieve predetermined project goals within a specified time frame and budget constraints. Project management is not unfamiliar to us. Since the beginning of organized human activities, various forms of project management have been implemented. However, we have never paid as comprehensive and in-depth attention to this issue as today, nor has it been studied as a specialized discipline. The globalization, diversification, and specialization of modern project management have made it widely recognized across industries worldwide. To meet the urgent demand for project management professionals in society, the United States implemented the Project Management Professional (PMP) certification system as early as 1984. In the mid-1990s, universities such as MIT, George Washington University, and the University of Maryland University College began to establish master's and doctoral programs in project management. The authors of this book, using a modular and serialized organizational structure, have achieved a harmonious integration of the dynamic process of project management with the static knowledge system of project management, as well as a combination of abstract project concepts and practical project management methods. It is a work that integrates policy, theory, and practice, innovating while remaining subtle and profound. It is believed that this book will play a positive role in cultivating high-quality project management professionals in the knowledge economy era, improving the professional standards of project management personnel in China, promoting the perfection and innovation of China's project management knowledge system in academia, and advancing the standardization and internationalization of Chinese project management.
