Opis

This is a story, not a text book. Its intent is to synthesize the disparate elements you've learned into a cogent, coherent whole. If you've been on a project you will recognize the setting and the issues. If you haven't, you soon will. It is easier to remember concepts and procedures via narrative than disjointed lists and bullet points. Climbing the Curve will help you understand how it all fits together. Project management is an ongoing process with straight forward, but numerous, practices and procedures. This story will bring them together and help you remember them. The Lessons will summarize these practices and provide easy reference. They are essential to effective project management. You must learn them if you expect to be an effective project manager. Climbing the Curve will help. While directed at process oriented projects (oil and gas, chemicals, pharmaceuticals), the Lessons and story should be applicable to most capital projects. Try to imagine that you are our hero, John Elliott, and what is happening to him will happen to you. Learn from his mistakes and misfortunes. We will follow John as he undertakes a new project. We will accompany him on his journey of discovery and development. This is the story of a project manager and his first project.
