Abstract:

The effort to successfully complete projects or job orders led to the development of various project management techniques and tools. Some of the tools to acquire knowledge are the literary resources dealing with general project management (Bazsová and Křížová, 2011). Other major literary resources include the text of the standards and norms (PMBOK, 2013; PRINCE2, 2009; IPMA ICB4, 2015; ISO 21500, 2012) and their commented issue and handbooks. Project management is followed up by other disciplines, such as the risk analysis, human resource management, portfolio management, programs and many others. Project management is also the focus of many global communities who share their resources and studies. Very up-to-date and practical are the Internet interest and business sites (ScienceDirect.com; pmworldlibrary.net) issuing magazines and publications (Procedia; PM World Journal). Here it is possible to find not only the practical experience of project managers, but also the contributions of trainers and academics. Surveys and data collections already carried out constitute another source of information which are mapping the level of project management, f.e. a survey by Ernst & Young (EY) of 2013.
