Project Planning in Context

I have written a self-study training course for people that are interested in Project Planning. This is not a complex and technical approach, rather an easy-to-read "how-to" application of professional project planning techniques. Project Planning in Context was designed for people who would like to learn more about planning and executing their projects and are confused about where to start.
