A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK� Guide) provides generalized project management guidance applicable to most projects most of the time. In order to apply this generalized guidance to construction projects, the Project Management Institute has developed the Construction Extension to the PMBOK� Guide. This Construction Extension provides construction-specific guidance for the project management practitioner for each of the PMBOK� Guide Knowledge Areas, as well as guidance in these additional areas not found in the PMBOK� Guide: * All project resources, rather than just human resources * Project health, safety, security, and environmental management * Project financial management, in addition to cost * Management of claims in construction This edition of the Construction Extension also follows a new structure, discussing the principles in each of the Knowledge Areas rather than discussing the individual processes. This approach broadens the applicability of the Construction Extension by increasing the focus on the "what” and "why” of construction project management. This Construction Extension also includes discussion of emerging trends and developments in the construction industry that affect the application of project management to construction projects.

As the pre-eminent standard for the project management profession, A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK(R) Guide)--2000 Edition identifies and describes the subset of principles and practices within the PMBOK(R) that are generally accepted and applicable to most projects most of the time. However, the PMBOK(R) Guide also identifies the need for application area extensions when there are generally accepted knowledge and practices for a category of projects in one application area that are not generally accepted across the full range of project types in most application areas. Government contracting is one such application area, and is the basis for this much-anticipated book. Designed to complement, rather than replace, the PMBOK(R) Guide--2000 Edition, contents of the Government Extension to a Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK(R) Guide), also known as the Government Extension, are based upon the same, easy-to-follow numbering system. Unaffected areas of the PMBOK(R) Guide are identified as such, with reference made to the corresponding PMBOK(R) Guide section. However, those areas of the Government Extension that contain revised or additional government-related content are easily identified. This book is a must-read for project practitioners involved with government contracts, as well as anyone who wants a better understanding of the PMBOK(R) Guide, as it applies to the government sector. The Government Extension teaches you how to get government jobs done right, on time and within budget. Newcomer or veteran, you will be surprised that someone finally made government projects understandable!

The only constant is change—especially in today's business environment. Increasing globalization and the rise of new markets and technologies are forcing companies to compete in a more turbulent world than ever. To survive and thrive, organizations must be able to continuously evolve. Unfortunately, people tend to resist change. Uncertainty can be daunting, and people generally prefer to keep doing what they already know, avoiding unfamiliar situations, particularly in their work. The good news is that change can be managed using the same processes many organizations already use in their day-to-day project management activities. After all, every project results in some type of change to an organization. Building on the Project Management Institute's Managing Change in Organizations: A Practice Guide, and drawing on the project management expertise of a wide variety of authors, How Successful Organizations Implement Change explains the critical aspects of the change management process and outlines the methods that project, program, and portfolio managers can utilize to bring effective change in a complex and transient business context. For practitioners who are directly leading the change effort as well as those affected by it; for executives formulating strategies, even those managing operations; and for academics researching or teaching others about organizational change management, the examples provided in this book cover a broad range of industries and areas of business. How Successful Organizations Implement Change combines the change management knowledge of experts, academics, researchers, and practitioners with tools, processes, and templates, all of which make this volume a valuable resource, a must-have, for leaders of change in organizations.
