Project Management - A Practicum

by Sukhjit Singh

Read here Read at LibreTextsPDF

The book immerses students in the real work of leading a project, not just the theory behind it. Centered on C-Bay Inc., a fictional but realistic organization, the book follows a project through its full lifecycle, teaching students to navigate ambiguity and make defensible calls through authentic documents and decisions. Built on Problem-Based Learning, it gives students a practical, working understanding of what project leadership actually demands.
