Introduction to the Book

The search for project management solutions and tools during the project phases can easily skip both the new and experienced project managers. The author provides a chunk of these solutions which are readily available in this book and makes them available to the reader.

Less than an hour of reading would readily provide such solutions/tools and provide a clear understanding of how to untie these knots in the project environment.
