Contemporary Project Management

Contemporary Project Management, 4th Edition, by Timothy Kloppenborg, Vittal S. Anantatmula, and Kathryn Wells, presents fundamental methodologies across traditional and agile project environments.

The textbook emphasizes practical application, having students practice manual techniques before learning automated workflows in Microsoft Project 2016. Its framework aligns directly with the knowledge areas and processes in the 6th edition of the PMBOK Guide alongside eighteen other standards from the Project Management Institute.

Students create deliverables for real projects to build practical portfolios for job interviews. The material also supports preparation for the Certified Associate in Project Management and Project Management Professional credentials.
