Overview
Global Project Management describes how to adapt your organisation and your projects to thrive in business environments which require distributed skills, around-the-clock operations and virtual team environments. The book goes beyond simple recommendations on collaborative tools, to suggest the development of best practices on cross-cultural team management and global communication, recommend organisational changes and project structures, and propose alternatives for the implementation of the new practices and methods. Filled with real-life examples and techniques, the book illustrates how to apply the recommendations as part of the successful management of any global project.

Reviews
'The book never wavers from its commitment to providing a valuable framework of methods to be used for the benefit of global project outcomes.' -- Winner of the 2008 PMI David I. Cleland Project Management Literature Award 'What makes global projects succeed? Do you wonder why some generic projects are perfectly managed and delivered in some countries and not even understood in others when the project scope and communication were exactly the same? If you're looking for solid, easy-to-follow advice on cross-cultural collaboration, coaching over distance, global communication, organizations, tools and more, then this is the book for you! A must-have for any project management professional.' -- Fabien Niget, Orange Business Services, Outsourcing Services Program Office, Switzerland 'With a refreshing sense of pragmatism, and a methodical approach of key concepts, Jean Binder cuts through the complexity of Global Project Management issues. This book deals with most of the situations I’ve had to face as a Global Project Manager, and gives easy-to-implement techniques and hints to solve issues and improve best practices. I’m sure you’ll benefit from the time saved thanks to its effectiveness.' -- Jacob Marchal, R&D Project Manager, Alcatel-Lucent
