Advanced Project Management: A Complete Guide to the Key Processes, Models and Techniques


Overview

Companies of all sizes now rely on project managers to deliver everything from network installations to departmental culture change. If you are a project manager, or manage your own business and are looking to ensure a successful project delivery, this rigorous and focused guide provides the framework you need for success. The book looks at the project from an holistic perspective, covering not just the project itself but also the overall needs of the company concerned. This means that when you manage the project, you will not only benefit from a structured approach to the project but you will also have a focus on who within the company needs what, when and why. This will ensure that your project will run smoothly and that your customers throughout the company will be happy with the result. Packed with practical guidance tested in such companies as British Airways, Motorola and Nokia, the book shows you how to run the project, build and manage project teams, handle large budgets, manage emergencies and communicate success to co-workers and stakeholders alike. If you are involved in a complex project, this book sets out the processes, methods and tools you need to manage the project seamlessly from beginning to end.
