Real World Lessons in Project Management

• Feature-packed CD-Rom includes over 50 project management templates for use in business
• Highly accessible, outstanding training material combines narrative role play with expert explanation

Most of the project management books on the market are basically textbooks. They are dry to begin with and don’t focus on the practical advice that most people need to run their projects. Real World Lessons in Project Management does not assume you are a project manager building a nuclear reactor or sending a man to the moon. It will focus instead on the millions of people who manage normal, medium, to large projects on an ongoing basis.

The format allows you to relate better to the book since it brings into play a project scenario with practical project management lessons to be learned. You'll also recognize recurring characters that appear in multiple stories and will start to develop some empathy and interest for their struggle.

這本書的特色是一個功能豐富的CD-ROM，其中包含超過50個專案管理範本，適用於商業使用。這是一個非常易於理解的優秀培訓材料，結合了敘述性角色扮演和專家解釋。

市場上大部分的專案管理書籍基本上都是教科書。它們從一開始就很枯燥，並且不著重於大多數人在執行專案時需要的實用建議。《真實世界中的專案管理課程》不假設你是一個正在建造核反應爐或將人類送上月球的專案經理。相反，它將專注於數百萬個持續進行的普通、中型和大型專案的管理者。

這本書的格式讓你更容易與書籍產生共鳴，因為它引入了一個專案情境，並提供實用的專案管理教訓。你還會認識到在多個故事中出現的重複角色，並開始對他們的奮鬥產生共鳴和興趣。
