Translation Project Management

<p>This textbook provides a comprehensive overview of the processes, principles, and constraints of project management in the translation industry. It offers readers clear insights into modern-day project management practices specific to translation services and an understanding of critical inter-related aspects of the process, drawing on key works in business studies on management, aspects of economics relevant to project management, and international standards on project management processes.</p><p>Developed on the back of a successful module titled Intercultural Project Management, <i>Translation Project Management </i>provides a coherent account of the entire translation project management lifecycle from start to finish and pays considerable attention to the factors influencing decision- making at various stages and how external forces shape the way in which a translation project plays out. Through an array of real-world case studies, it offers readers opportunities to explore, analyse, and engage with six fundamental project constraints: cost, time, scope, quality, benefits, and risk. Each chapter offers discussion points, possible assignments, and guided further reading. </p><p>This is an essential textbook both for all project management courses within translation studies programmes and for professional translators and translation service providers.</p><p>Additional resources are available on the <a href="http://routledgetranslationstudiesportal.com/">Routledge Translation Studies Portal</a>.</p> <p>List of Figures, List of Tables, List of Boxes, Series Editor Foreword, Acknowledgements, About this Textbook, 1.
