The 4th Edition of Jack Marchewka's Information Technology Project Management focuses on how to create Measurable Organizational Value (MOV) through IT projects. The author uses the concept of MOV, combined with his own research, to create a solid foundation for making decisions throughout the project's lifecycle. The book's integration of project management and IT concepts provides students with the tools and techniques they need to develop in this field.

Features:

• Takes you through the different phases of the project life cycle and introduces the concepts and tools that are appropriate for each specific phase of the project.
• Emphasizes MOV as a central theme in the text.
• Incorporates nine areas outlined in the Project Management Institute's Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) into the basic concepts associated with information systems management and software engineering.
• Provides a balance between concept and application.
• A 60-day trial edition of Microsoft Project is packaged with every new textbook. The full unlimited version of Project is available via MSDNAA, free with a Wiley adoption.

New to this Edition:

• The Project Management Body of Knowledge ("PMBOK") areas have been updated to reflect the latest edition of PMBOK Guide.
• Several Quick Thinking exercises have been replaced or updated. These short cases provide a useful pedagogical tool for in-class discussions to increase a student's level of learning.
• A new integrated case called the Martial Arts Academy has been added at the end of each chapter. Along with the Husky Air cases, these cases provide students with an opportunity to work as a project team.
• A third and new case has been added to the end of each chapter. These cases provide an opportunity for higher-level analysis and discussion.
