Full Description
A Modern Guide to IT Project Management: Agile Waterfall Approaches offers a comprehensive and practical introduction to managing projects in today's fast-paced and ever-evolving technological landscape. As organizations strive to innovate and remain competitive, effective project management has become an essential skill in both IT infrastructure and software development.
This book explores core project management principles with a focus on real-world examples and practices specific to the IT industry. It provides a balanced overview of both traditional Waterfall and modern Agile approaches, helping readers understand the key differences, processes, tools, and best practices associated with each. Whether using a formal, structured methodology or a more adaptive, informal approach, readers will find valuable guidance for managing projects successfully.
In addition to technical knowledge, the book emphasizes the importance of soft skills such as communication, leadership, and collaboration. These skills are often the key to successful project outcomes and are illustrated through practical examples and case studies.
Each chapter is organized around a core knowledge area of project management, beginning with general concepts and concluding with insights into how both Waterfall and Agile frameworks apply. An ongoing case study is used throughout the book to reinforce learning and show how theory translates into practice.
Written in clear, accessible language, this guide is ideal for students, early-career professionals, and aspiring project managers looking to build a solid foundation in IT project management.
