There is a noticeable and growing problem in
project management
—
a huge and disturbing
gap has emerged between project management
theory and its application. Project managers
know how to run a risk meeting, but not how to
negotiate the upper levels of power in their cor¬
porations. If you re a new project manager, you
may know how to plan a project, but not how to
negotiate dates with your sponsors. You may
understand the principles, but not how to apply
them in the real world in effective ways. What
you need is a guide that will give you the tools to
work effectively within any corporate culture and
accomplish goals in a timely and productive
manner.
Project Management That WorL· helps you deal
with the reality of unreasonable deadlines and
difficult projects and shows you how to accom¬
plish their goals without alienating your execu¬
tive sponsors or the team working under you.
Author Rick Morris has more than
10
years of
project management experience in Fortune
500
companies, holds the PMP®, and is also a sought-
after speaker at PMI® chapters. Here, he and
Brette
McWhorter Sember teach managers how
to have a conversation with key project team
members. While many books will teach the
theory or discuss ideas, very few combine theory
with practical data gathering and teach how to
turn the data into real results. This book will
show you how to get the appropriate data and use
it to support everything you know is supposed to
happen, but can t see how to get done. Through
the authors seasoned guidance, you will learn the
fundamentals of good project management,
including how to:
♦
Understand yourself
♦
Communicate on all levels
♦
Be trustworthy and give good information
♦
Turn around failing projects
(continues on back flap)
(continued from front flap)
♦
Really know when a project is done
♦
Apply the iron triangle (triple constraint)
♦
Apply the PERT methodology in project
planning
♦
Never lose sight of the customer
♦
Avoid sacrificing your team at any cost
♦
Understand myths about status meetings
♦
Understand patriots and scuds
♦
Perform a real risk assessment
♦
Put risk in a project plan
♦
Use project management to make positive
change to your corporate culture
This is a true insider s guide that will teach you
the skills you really need on the job that often
aren t part of the project management curri¬
culum. It will enable you to make positive
change
—
no matter how insurmountable the
challenges seem.
