Acknowledgments
Holy cow! Do you know what’s involved in writing a book? The
team of dedicated professionals who helped to create this resource
for you in order to advance your career in project management has
to be the best in the business.
The spark for this effort began with Kenyon Brown, the senior
acquisition editor who assembled this great team. Gary Schwartz
was the development editor who served as a mentor throughout
the process and at times strangely resembled my college
composition professor. His efforts made this tool the very best
product it could be to assist you in passing the CompTIA Project+
exam. Vanina Mangano helped to ensure the technical viability of
this book. Her talents and dedication in the project management
field are globally known, and she is a terrific collaboration partner.
The rest of the production team, led by Dassi Zeidel, ensured that
this text made it into print in a readable form. Thank you all for
your collaborative efforts!
I would also like to acknowledge Kim Heldman, who has been a
professional mentor to me for over a decade. One of the most
courageous leaders I have ever met, Kim got me started down the
path of project management certification, authorship, and
speaking. Kim is one of the great leaders in public sector
information technology. She brings order and structure to a scary
and complex area.
Most importantly, I would like to thank my wife April and my
children Kayla, Marcus, and Adric. They endured the opportunity
costs of building Legos, helping with homework, or watching a
movie throughout this process. The sacrifice in writing this book
was mostly felt by them, and I couldn’t do it without their smiles,
love, and support. If I didn’t have April in my life, my days would
be dull and I wouldn’t have such a cheery audience for life’s little
animations that we share together. She is my best friend forever,
the world’s greatest cheerleader, a creative and talented teacher,
and the model for the person I want to be. I love you all.
