Acknowledgements
This book is an adaptation of Project Management from Simple to Complex originally published by the University of Minnesota Libraries Publishing, as well as Project Management by Adrienne Watt, published by BCcampus Open Education.
In 2024, many aspects of this textbook were updated to reflect changing project management practices and the Project Management Institute’s launch of the 7th edition of the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK). The author would like to acknowledge the contribution of Juanita Woods, Scott Marshall and Louisa Schlesiger from the University of North Georgia who developed Delivering Value with Project Management. The author has incorporated their content on project management roles, project lifecycles, essential leadership skills and the project management framework. In some instances, this content was incorporated as originally written and in other cases, modifications were made.
