This publication is one of a series of 15 workbooks designed to support candidates undertaking either a NEBS Management Diploma or Management S/NVQ at level 4.
It is therefore pitched at students that already have knowledge of project management and is written more in the style of a 'revision' booklet. There are also references to previous reading which, not having read the other booklets I can only assume is in the other editions somewhere. I don’t find references such as 'which we have visited previously' helpful, especially as I searched desperately trying to find where we had previously visited the subject and couldn’t find it. There is only one other volume on Project Management, entitled 'Planning and Controlling Projects' which is Dossier 3 and follows AFTER this one, so I am not sure where the previous visits to the subjects occur!
The book is A4 size and has some 96 pages. There are case studies and activities throughout. I had the benefit of knowing quite a lot about project management, as that is my job and so found this quite a light read.
The other titles in the series are:
01 Risk Management
02 Delivering Successful Projects
03 Planning and Controlling Projects
04 The Learning Organization
05 Managing for Knowledge
06 Obtaining and Retaining Customers
07 Human Resources Planning
08 Business Planning
09 Financial Performance
10 Managing Quality
11 Business Relationships
12 Managing Harmoniously
