From the Back Cover
If you're a project manager, you know about the permanent crunch caused by limited time, scarce resources, and the sheer intricacy of many projects. The Project Management Tool Kit, Second Edition, supplies the clear, concise information you need to get complex projects done—on time, on budget, and with stellar results.
Completely updated throughout, The Project Management Tool Kit, Second Edition, addresses 100 specific project challenges, including all of the processes identified in A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK®Guide). But unlike the PMBOK Guide,® which focuses on what to do, this accessible book delivers step-by-step "how-to" guidance for professionals at all levels on essential topics such as:
- Sponsorship
- Stakeholder expectation management
- Stakeholder identification
- Requirements collection
- Inheriting a project
- Forecasting project completion
- Project metric selection
- Project metric implementation
- Project life cycles
Complete with checklists and tools for quick implementation, this practical, on-the-job resource will help project managers in any industry master any project challenge.

Customer Reviews
A Reference Book, Not Tool Kit
This is a reference book based on PMBOK, with very concise summaries of project management processes. For example, the Project Charter is covered in two pages. It is not for novice project leaders as the book states. There are no examples or templates to show you how you can prepare your documents.
good practical techniques that really work
This book provides a great overview on proven techniques and approaches that really work. This is exactly what project managers are looking for after reading the PMBOK®! It shows the "how to ..." which is missing in the PMBOK®. The tools are easy to grasp, and the approach goes far beyond the pure technical and methodological stuff to the human side--which is the essential part in most projects
Quick and Concise.
Excellent reference tool! Having practiced PM for over 20 years I know that, due to projects' unique elements, no project manager uses all their skills and tools all the time. This book is great to have to go to for a quick, easy to get to, no-nonsense refresher for those skills that may be a little rusty.
