Project management : The managerial process 5th ed
Our motivation for writing this text was to provide for our students a text built around a holistic, integrative view of project management. A holistic view,of project management focuses on how projects contribute to the strategic goals of the organization. The linkages for integration include the process of selection of projects that best support organizational strategy and all the technical and managerial processes to complete those projects. The goals for prospective project managers are to clearly understand the role of a project in their organizations and to master project management tools/techniques and interpersonal skills necessary to orchestrate projects to completion. The role of projects in organizations is receiving increasing attention. Projects are becoming the major tool for reaching the strategic goals of the organization. Given savage worldwide competition, many organizations have reorganized around a philosophy of innovation, renewal, and organizational learning to survive. This philosophy suggests an organization that is flexible and project driven. Project management has developed to the point where it is a professional discipline having its own body of knowledge and skills. Today it is nearly impossible to imagine anyone at any level in the organization who would not benefit from some degree of expertise in the process of managing projects. AUDIENCE This text is written for a wide audience. Students and prospective project managers will find the text useful to understand why organizations have developed a formal project management process to gain a competitive advantage. Readers will find the concepts and techniques discussed in enough detail to be immediately useful in newproject situations. Practicing project managers will find the text a useful guide and reference for typical problems that pop up. Managers will also find the text useful to understand the role of the project in the mission of their organization. Analysts will find the text useful in explaining the data needed and the operations of inherited or purchased software. Members of the Project Management Institute will find the text a use ful handbook when preparing for project management certification. People at all levels in the organization assigned to work on projects will find the text useful in providing the rationale behind project management tools and techniques and will gain insights on how to enhance their contributions to project success. Our emphasis is not only on how the management process works, but more importantly why it works. The concepts, principles, and techniques are universally applicable. That is, the text does not specialize by project type-for example, construction, product development, large, small. Rather, the text is written for the individual who will be required to manage a variety of projects. In the case of some small projects, a few of the steps of the techniques can be omitted, but the conceptual framework applies to all organizations in which projects are important to survival. The approach can be used in pure project organizations such as construction, research organizations, and consultant engineering firms. Organizations that spend most of their daily effort producing products or services will find the text useful in managing the many small projects that are going on while the daily production continues.
