A core competency for health and community service practitioners internationally, project management is a key challenge for both new and existing staff. This practitioner?s guide uses project stories and examples to illustrate the core challenges that practitioners may face, including managing the project life cycle, project planning, execution and evaluation, risk management, handling change and building effective teams. Alongside new interviews with staff working across a range of sectors, this edition includes new content on career development and pathways as well as the growing integration of project methods into general management, and the impact of broader changes like digital innovation and transformation.


Written by highly experienced authors, and underpinned by the latest research, this enlightening and practical guide is an essential resource for anyone studying or working in health and community services.
