Title: An Introduction to Project Management for Product Development
Abstract: This chapter introduces the project structure and why it has become so popular across so many industries. It presents the "Iron Triangle," the balancing of project cost, schedule, and deliverables that is central to all projects. It discusses the project stakeholders: the project manager, the project team, the sponsor, and other internal and external contributors to and beneficiaries of the project. It then describes the four main differences between product development projects and other types of projects. The role of the project manager is presented: why companies need them, what skills they should process, and why someone would want to learn this skill set. It ends with a discussion of certification for project managers.
