Product Description

Most innovations in information technology can be traced back to a project: the behind-the-scenes work that, when correctly managed, results in a new system, a new technology, or a new product in the marketplace. This text builds a foundation for tomorrow's creators and managers by providing meaningful examples of real projects - both successful and failed - and applying the lessons they teach to a sound framework in IT project management.
