I have always resisted the mentality of the typical 'techie geek' who does not understand people and can only see the trees, not the forest.

Project Management Although desirable, it is quite difficult to start with a dictionary definition of project management, mainly because of the complexity involved in the process, a complexity impossible to cover with a simple two-line definition. Hence, it is probably best to describe the process, underlining thus the main characteristics of project management. A company's strategic perspective may, perhaps, be amply resumed to two strategic concepts around which everything else revolves: objectives
Technology and Project Management The Politics of Technology Technology today is such an integrated part of life that it has become inseparable from everyday activity. Indeed, it affects all areas of life, including general public life, professional life, schooling, and politics.
