The completely revised and updated 2nd edition of this book serves as a toolbox for classic and agile projects. The most important terms and phases of project management are explained in a standards-compliant manner. Then this book deals with cross-project cross-sectional topics and project phase-specific contents with listing of the respective goals and expected results. In addition, aspects of agile project management are presented using Scrum as an example. This book is a translation of the original German 2nd edition Projektmanagement für die Praxisby Daud Alam and Uwe Gühl, published by Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature in 2020. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation. Springer Nature works continuously to further the development of tools for the production of books and on the related technologies to support the authors Tips and hints, examples, and checklists from project practice in the automotive and IT environment complement the contents. Templates for own projects are listed and can also be found on the product page of the book on SpringerLink. For students, there is also an extensive question catalog to consolidate the knowledge learned. This gives readers good and quick access to the topic of project management and helps them to be able to carry out their projects successfully.
