Mastering Project Management is a three-part book series designed for individuals who manage or anticipate managing workplace projects such as technical specialists, apprentices, frontline leaders, engineers, managers, and project stakeholders.
This Book 1, Planning for Performance, focuses on the technical side of the traditional project management life cycle and covers the tools and techniques most widely used to manage workplace projects. This book stresses the importance of effective planning in project management. It suggests that careful planning is essential for the successful execution of a project, as it helps ensure that the project is completed on time, within budget, and to the required quality standards.
The book covers topics such as defining project scope, creating a project schedule, and managing project resources. By mastering the skills and techniques discussed in this book, you can effectively plan and control your projects, leading to better outcomes for your organizations. This book also focuses on the competency areas of Planning and Evaluation, Resource Management, Problem Solving, Communication, Leadership and Coaching, and Management Controls, which are incorporated into the four chapters outlined below.

The two companion books, Results Through People, and Controlling Time, Money, and Risk, are focused on the leadership and business management sides of project management, respectively.
Although the series is directed toward individuals, faculty teaching in universities and community college programs, as well as trainers in organizations will find it useful as a text or guide to bridge theory and practice.
People in organizations who just want to learn and study more about project management can use the self-paced guidebooks for workshops and seminars or learn-at-lunch programs.
As you proceed through the content and associated learning activities, it is helpful to apply what you learn to projects that you are familiar with. This will help you better understand the concepts and indicate areas for potential organizational improvement.

Read the first book and this 2nd one did not disappoint! Loved every chapter. More please!
Like it was written by George Santos
Received an Advanced Reader Copy from a friend. I am an avid true crime reader and upon completion I question if the author is credible. The timeline does not add up for his age and the times of his alleged involvement in organized crime. Some of the things in the book he is alleged to have said and done I remember almost word for word from movies I had previously watched. He literally stole a scene from the movie the accountant with Ben Affleck and said that he did it. I did a little research after completing the book and learned that this author was also claiming in 2010 that he was a long time member of the Bloods Gang. That coupled with the above leads me to believe that it is nothing more than fantasy. Do not waste your time or money

What a difficult story to tell. I appreciate the honesty and vulnerability. Definitely made me think.
I had hopes for this book but was not expecting what I would read within the pages. If your kink is deplorable grammar, incoherent sentences, and inconsistent messages, then this book is for you. At first, I thought the book I received was not the book I ordered. But as I dived in, it was very confusing. I would not recommend this book to anyone
There are not many reviews on the internet for this book. In researching the many stores selling the book, it was self-published which makes a lot of sense. The online description is written perfectly, so reading the actual book was very difficult. Pages two and three are written clearly as well as the table of contents. Pages 155 and 156 are also written logically.
It appears this book was written, then sent through a program like “Grammarly.” Once completed it seems it was published without being re-read or edited. The first clue was the title narrative that used “Has” instead of “As.” The table of contents is one page off from what it shows on pages four though seven. Many of the “q’s” are written as “[]”
Below are some examples of what was within the pages of this book written verbatim:
“Chains & Discipline/ Domination & entry/ Sadism & Masochism (BDSM) is a wide classification of bed room play.” Page 9
“When bringing up the topic of chains, you are actually asking a person to offer you their depend on, their flexibility, and also possibly their suggestion of security in exchange for sensual/sexual enjoyment, power-play, and also feasible re-evaluation of your very own connection.” Page 39
“Techni[]ue can take a selection of kinds and also be as easy or facility as you pick to (new paragraph) bargain for your details scenario” Page 52
“BDSM stands for chains as well as entry, technique and also supremacy as well as sadism and also masochism.” Page 125
“SHELF means Risk Aware Consensual Kink.” Page 130
“Approval is whatever.” Page 152
“your twist isn’t my twist, yet your twist is OKAY.” Page 153
“You can be a top, base, or button” Page 153
