  • A broad range of easily understood examples, based on projects encountered in everyday situations, give students a taste of project management skills in action.

Features

{{collapseContainerClosed['features'] ? 'Show More' : 'Show Less'}}
  • Students using this text learn the keys to effective communication both within and outside a team.
  • Other learning features and a variety of end-of-chapter practice activities reinforce concepts critical to project management success.
  • Written in an easy-to-understand, straightforward style with a minimum of technical terms. Readers acquire project management terminology gradually as they read the text.
  • The text does not use complex mathematical theories or algorithms to describe scheduling techniques. An overtly technical approach can create a barrier to learning for individuals who lack deep understanding of advanced mathematics or technical backgrounds.
  • End-of-chapter, localised case studies provide critical-thinking scenarios, placing project management skills into practical context and prompting meaningful analysis and discussion among students.
  • Includes examples from South Africa and Africa, which students will be familiar with.

The Learning Path for Successful Project Management in South Africa includes a broad range of videos, assessment questions and application assignments woven around the Reader content, to enable South African students to fully understand the subject.

Chapter Introduction
Students can watch a video for context on what they will learn in the chapter. It includes some brief questions based on the content of the video. The nature of video brings project management concepts to life and enables students to engage with the content.

Chapter Reading:
Students can highlight and take notes while reading through the content, or listen to the content being read using the ReadSpeaker tool.

Learn It:
• Test yourself Questions revise the key concepts that were covered for a complete topic and test the students’ comprehension of the material.
• Case Scenario Animations of some case studies (which were adapted for South Africa in the Reader) provide visual presentations of these, and help students better understand the case topics. The short questions based on these ask students to think about how to problem-solve for the given situation.

Study It:
Included in select chapters, video tutorials guide students through how to use Microsoft Project. Being the world’s most popular project management software, these videos and assignments help students grasp how to use this tool essential to their careers. The auto-graded assignment questions that follow the video ensure students have understood the functions.

Apply It
Decision Time assignments provide real-world applications of project management situations that students might encounter themselves one day. Students must make decisions that will have consequences to learn how best to handle certain situations and projects.
