Features: This book elaborates on the essence of project management from a management perspective, breaking through the basic management of various organizational projects. It focuses on the specific techniques, challenges, and corresponding solutions of implementing this unique management method. It includes all the key content of the Project Management Body of Knowledge (2004 version) defined by the Project Management Institute (PMI). The 6th edition adds knowledge on risk management and emphasizes the application of Crystal Ball 2000, an Excel embedded software. Additionally, it supplements and discusses topics such as real options, organizational process assets, Six Sigma, supply chain management, non-technical project termination, Stage-Gate/Quality-Gate processes, and requirements specification and analysis. As a globally best-selling authoritative classic textbook, it has been deeply favored by readers since its 4th edition was introduced to China. In addition to systematically introducing project management professional knowledge, the book also includes extensive teaching support materials such as project management practices, review questions, case discussions, and suggested readings. Among these, the suggested readings carefully select classic articles published in authoritative management journals, providing valuable quantitative or qualitative analysis references.
