Everyone needs project management skills because everything in this world is essentially a project-including your career and your life. As a scholar and practitioner in project management, I found that this book provides pragmatic knowledge in managing projects and also prepares you to get a certificate from Project Management Institute (PMI) if you are interested to become a professional in project management. You can gain experience by reading this book and apply more than ten templates to manage your projects. There are also many well-designed practical examples to help you have a deep understanding of what you learn. In short, I recommend this book to people who want to know how to manage projects and even become a professional in project management.
