Museums run on projects-from exhibitions and publications to digital initiatives, collections work, or organizational change-yet museum professionals are often expected to lead cross-departmental work without a shared language or practical approach for managing it. Project Management for Museums makes project management accessible to those responsible for turning an idea or priority into a meaningful outcome. The book presents project management not simply as a set of tools or a technical discipline, but as an essential mindset that integrates mission-driven purpose, operational efficiency, and cultural sensitivity to help museums remain resilient and relevant in an ever-evolving world.

Readers will learn the foundations of project management and how to use six adaptable project phases to organize work intentionally: clarifying why a project matters, defining what it should accomplish, coordinating people and decisions, navigating constraints, and sustaining the value it creates. Through museum examples, frameworks, and practical tools, the book invites professionals to approach projects as shared efforts that translate a museum's purpose into meaningful action.
