Welcome to my personal Web site.  I'm a Professor at Augsburg College in Minneapolis, an author, and a consultant.  I'm sometimes introduced as a Ph.D., PMP, and mother of three! Parents know which of those three accomplishments is most challenging and rewarding. You can access some of my recent presentations under My Bio.

The sixth edition of Information Technology (IT) Project Management was published by Cengage Learning in early April 2009. A revised version will be out this summer. I self-published An Introduction to Project Management, Third Edition in August 2009, with a revised edition in April 2010. The only change in the revised editions (besides corrections) is making Appendix A based on Project 2010. Instructors should email me directly (schwalbe@augsburg.edu) for a desk copy of the new Intro PM text and go to www.cengage.com for the IT PM text.

You can purchase all of my books using the amazon.com links below. Bookstores or individuals wanting to order 10 or more copies of An Introduction to Project Management, Third Edition, email me (schwalbe@augsburg.edu) for discount information. Call Cengage at (800-354-9706)or email esales@cengage.com to order copies of the second edition or the IT text.

Access the FREE companion Web site for An Introduction to Project Management, Third Edition at www.intropm.com. Here's a link to get the file with the appendix containing a brief guide to Project 2007. So you can still buy the Revised book for under $60 and use the old appendix, if needed. Or you can buy just the new Appendix A for about $10 in a book format or for only $7 as a pdf file from http://offthebookshelf.com/search?q=schwalbe.
