People are often expected to manage projects as part of their day-to-day work but few receive special training to help them to take on this task. Managing Projects in Human Resources, Training and Development is an essential handbook for both operational staff and senior human resource managers requiring information and guidance on all aspects of project management. Working through a framework of techniques and processes, this book provides the practical tools and approaches required for successful project management. It is packed with case studies, figures and diagrams. Examples drawn from human resources, training and development settings are used throughout the book, making it a practical and thoughtful guide for anyone taking responsibility for leading, managing or contributing to a project in this area of work.
