內容大鋼
本書自2002年在中國引進出版以來，為項目管理知識體系在中國的普及和發展做出了卓有成效的貢獻，產生了深遠的影響。第9版緊跟IT行業發展趨勢，是一本涵蓋10大管理知識領域(項目整合、範圍、進度、成本、質量、資源、溝通、風險、採購和干係人管理)和5個過程組(啟動、計劃、執行、監控和收尾)的經典書籍。
本版特色
以《項目管理知識體系指南(第6版)》為基礎，新增關於敏捷／自適應環境的討論、「給年輕專業人士的建議」模塊、關於領導力和敏捷開發的內容，同時更新練習題和案例，補充新的研究成果，體現PMP考試的新變化。
強調軟體工具的使用，提供Microsoft Project 2016使用指南，還包括使用MindView和蒙特卡羅模擬軟體協助項目管理的實例。
每章都以「開篇案例」為起點，在實際項目背景下展開管理概念和技術的主題討論，用實例說明管理方法「對在哪裡」和「錯在哪裡」，最後以「案例結局」收束全章。
「媒體快照」將抽象概念與媒體報道中的真實項目關聯起來，「最佳實踐」樹立了源於不同企業的項目管理榜樣，「全球問題」關注全球化管理如何影響世界的現在和未來。
