About the Book

Based on the author's real world experience during the course of her career in supply management, and engineering as a project management professional, this unique guide demonstrates a practical and proven approach to using project management strategies, tools and techniques to consistently create successful procurements that go beyond cost savings. Procurement Project Management Success integrates supply management best practices and processes with those applicable from the project management profession. It explains how to initiate, plan, manage, and complete procurement projects from simple to complex successfully. Through the use of scheduling, communication plans, risk management and other project management processes, these procurements satisfy stakeholders by setting expectations, continuously communicating status, and getting the best value for the dollar. The author shows project managers all the steps and processes used in procurement, and procurement professionals how adding a few project management processes and techniques to their skill-set and applying them to procurements can substantially improve both their results and career opportunities.
