Preface
This book on Project Management is intended as a quick reference covering important aspects of project management that should be understood by managers in the telecommunications environment. This book is organized with an introduction, which introduces the value chain in telecommunications and illustrates the type of project, which one might encounter in a telecommunications company. Part I: Planning a Project covers the processes to be used in the initiation and planning of projects. Part II: Running a Project covers the processes that fall into place once the planning stage is completed. All project areas are covered, including Initiating, Planning, Executing, Controlling and Closing. In Part III we look at the contributions to projects by the different departments in a telco, including Sales and Marketing, Senior Management, Project Management, Engineering, Operations and Purchasing. The book refers frequently to A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide), 2000 Edition, published by the Project Management Institute, and all processes included are those recommended in the PMBOK® Guide. The use of gender and the handling of it in this text were weighed carefully. Being a woman makes me especially sensitive to this issue.
