This handbook pulls together the fundamentals of project management and presents them along side the other business systems and procedures effected by project management. The book is the most comprehensive reference resource for all business managers. It allows readers to understand how project management fits into their organization, and helps them apply this knowledge on the job.
This paper studies the business process known as project management. This process has exhibited a remarkable growth in business interest over the last 15 years, as demonstrated by a 1000% increase in membership in the Project Management Institute since 1996. This growth is largely attributable to the emergence of many new diverse business applications that can be successfully managed as projects. The new applications for project management include IT implementations, research and development, new product and service development, corporate change management, and software development. The characteristics of modern projects are typically very different from those of traditional projects such as construction and engineering, which necessitates the development of new project management techniques. We discuss these recent practical developments. The history of project management methodology is reviewed, from CPM and PERT to the influential modern directions of critical chain project management and agile methods. We identify one important application area for future methodological change as new product and service development. A list of specific research topics within project management is discussed. The conclusions suggest the existence of significant research opportunities within project management.

Business Process Management in Project-Based Companies: A New MethodologyProcess management is a way of organising and running a business aimed at all kinds of companies that simultaneously pursue an increase in corporate efficiency and an increase in customer satisfaction. The aim is to create added value for the customer by managing the company’s processes appropriately. In recent years its importance has increased since it has shown itself to be a tool that improves quality and efficiency in companies. This study presents a new methodology for implementing process management in project production companies, with explicit reference to the particular circumstances of this kind of enterprise. The appropriateness of this study resides in a combination of the current need for process management and the lack of research in this specific field relating to project production companies. The main contribution of this work lies in the clarity and simplicity of the proposed methodology that, in addition, is useful for professionals who want to implement process management in their companies. In turn, that may have a positive impact on society.

Rugăciunea este starea în care omul îşi mută mintea de pe pământ la cer, rugăciunea este singura care îl urcă pe om până la tronul lui Dumnezeu, este singura care ajunge şi sparge cerul, este legătura, unitatea între duh şi materie.
