In the past I have recorded several podcast episodes with Jack Ferraro, PMP about his book The Strategic Project Leader. The book and his approaches resonated very well with me. In fact at one point I was thinking to myself "this guy has written my book!" because our ideas were so similar. That is why I decided to work with Jack to bring you his book at a substantial 40% discount:

To order please go to http://www.crcpress.com/product/isbn/9780849387944 and use the discount coupon code LVL21. Note that you must input this code on the very last page of the checkout process or else you will pay full price. The coupon is valid for the hard copy of the book only.

In this free episode we give you an overview of the Project Integration Management Knowledge Area. We review what the knowledge area contains, what the general concepts of its processes are, we discuss project interactions, the charter, the PM Plan, historical files and many other concepts.
