Project management - theory and practice, toolbox contains 52 tools for the active project manager. You get exactly what you need when, for example, you have to do a stakeholder analysis, a complexity analysis of the project or prepare a presentation for the steering committee.

You have this personal workbook with you in the field, and you can write down your own reflections, tips and ideas.

The tools in the book are divided into three main topics:

- Part 1: Project models and phases

- Part 2: The processes of the project

- Part 3: People and management

The book comes with a license card that provides access to digital editions of the book's tools. There are checklists that you can build on yourself, and templates and schedules that can be used directly when writing various project management documents.

Forord

This is your personal workbook and is a supplement to basic project management
textbooks, such as the author’s own Project Management, theory and
practice. The book is thus not written to stand alone, but assumes some basic
knowledge of project management. From the tools in this book, there are references
to the book, Project Management, theory and practice. In the book, Project
Management, theory and practice, there are references to the individual tools.
Thus, the two books are closely related.

The book is structured with a firm, tight outline for each of the 52 tools it
contains. The descriptions of the individual tools are short and written simply,
so readers with many different approaches can understand them.

In this context, the word “tool” means a model of reality which indicates a way
of attacking reality, but which, importantly, introduce
