This is a workbook that has project management theory embedded into the practical work-through projects
where it seems to be obvious, rather than the typical introduction section which discusses abstract ideas that
you will eventually get to see and do. This approach is considered minimalist and has proven to be highly
effective over my 26 years of teaching. The more meaningful projects a student works through, the deeper their
understanding. The student who works through practical problems first will encounter all of the ideas that
would have normally been discussed (abstractly) in an introduction but will have a significantly deeper
appreciation of the same material! There is an incredible efficiency in getting underway with practical
problems immediately. You will be continually surprised at how much material a student can successfully
digest in a regular class period when freed up to investigate interesting problems by themselves rather than
passively listening to a lecture. These are referred to as Learner Centered Activities.
The projects are ones that each of us may encounter in our work life; replacing a compressor, building a home,
writing a report, etc. The flow of the text is one that hopefully fosters curiosity and the understanding of
organizing details, estimating durations of various tasks, how these tasks are interrelated and choosing resources
which have the ability to successfully complete these tasks all important components of project management.
The instructors job is to answer all questions and, if necessary, give mini lectures or hold discussion sessions
in other words, the clean up crew. Often an entire lecture can be reduced to a sentence when presented at
the right time when the student has done the work necessary and is now ready.
