Overview

No Project Management by PowerPoint examines the practices, processes, tools, and future of project management in the financial services industry. Through example and observation, this book takes a detailed look at the unique attributes of financial projects and how the people charged with delivering these initiatives might best achieve success. No Project Management by PowerPoint is both a review of the current environment of financial services project management and a helpful guide to improving the way you execute day-to-day Project Management responsibilities. Within these pages, you will explore such topics as project and role definitions, the various methods of defining success, and how financial projects are managed along traditional or non-traditional paths. The book also examines the project manager in the industry-how they may assume the role of project manager, the multitude of career options, and what the future may hold professionally for Financial Services Project Managers. Beyond these definitions, frameworks, and organizational analysis, this book presents a very pragmatic-and often tongue in cheek-view of financial services project management. Each chapter contains either a real-world tip, war story, or sage piece of advice from experienced industry practitioners - whether it's showing a way of creating an ad-hoc work breakdown structure or recommending a simple presentation idea on how to quickly and simply set stakeholder expectations. No Project Management by PowerPoint is more than a book on project management-it's a practitioner's guide to improving how financial services professionals manage the daily demands of their projects, their industry, and their own careers.
