An Introduction to Project Management, Seventh Edition: Predictive, Agile, and Hybrid Approaches by Kathy Schwalbe is the most comprehensive and practical introductory project management text available, independently published in August 2021. Rated 4.6 stars by over 208 reviewers, this edition has been updated to include information from the Project Management Institute's PMBOK Guide - Seventh Edition (2021) as well as the Sixth Edition (2017).
The text covers predictive/waterfall, agile/adaptive, and hybrid approaches to managing projects, giving students a complete toolkit for today's dynamic project environments. A second running case focusing on an agile/hybrid approach - the Global Construction Human Capital project - has been added, including samples of a product vision statement, product roadmap, release plan, product backlog, user stories, and burndown charts. A brand new chapter covers the PMP and Other Certifications. Real-world examples, media snapshots, best practices, and video highlights appear in every chapter, while a free student website includes template files, online quizzes, and lecture slides.
Key topics include: project integration, scope, schedule, cost, quality, resource, communication, risk, procurement, and stakeholder management - aligned with the PMBOK framework. Essential reading for students and professionals preparing for the PMP (Project Management Professional), CAPM (Certified Associate in Project Management), PMI-ACP (Agile Certified Practitioner), and PMI-PBA certifications. Rated 4.6 stars by over 208 reviewers.
"I was paying $11.99/month for Kindle Unlimited but realized I was renting books, not owning them. Bought this PDF and it's mine forever. Never going back to Kindle."
"Switched from Kindle to these PDFs. Same book, but I actually OWN it now. No monthly fees, no app required. Worth every penny."
"Kindle Unlimited kept raising prices. This is a one-time purchase and the file is permanently on my iPad. Best decision I've made for my reading habit."
"I compared Kindle vs this store. Kindle is cheaper monthly but you don't own anything. Here I paid once and the PDF is mine for life. Highly recommend."
"Left Kindle behind after they removed a book I was reading mid-series. With this PDF, nobody can take it away from me. True ownership feels good."
"Was skeptical about paying $18.95 when Kindle shows $3.99, but then I did the math β Kindle Unlimited is $143/year! This is way better value long term."
"Love that I can read this on any device without installing the Kindle app. The PDF works on my laptop, phone, and tablet seamlessly. So much freedom."
"My Kindle subscription was getting expensive. Switched to buying PDFs here and I'm saving money while actually building a permanent digital library I control."
