Managing Business Projects The Essentials

Managing Business Projects The Essentials

Managing Business Projects: The Essentials differs from many other project management textbooks. Foremost it is about business projects as opposed to construction or engineering projects. Although many techniques like schedule management apply to both they are usually applied differently. As its title conveys the book explains the essential techniques and perspectives needed for business projects to be successful. The focus is on small- and medium-sized projects up to $20 million but often below $1 million. Some literature favors large and mega-projects but for every mega-project there are many thousands of smaller projects that are vital to the organization and could involve considerable complexity and risk. Nevertheless the techniques outlined here also apply to mega-projects and their many subprojects; they even apply to some aspects of construction or engineering projects. This book does not aim to cover all project management techniques. In real life there is simply no time for sophisticated ‘should-dos. ' Rather it covers the essentials that apply to almost all business projects; these are unlikely to change in the future even as technology and methodologies advance. The driving idea which is stated repeatedly is to do the essentials and to do them consistently and well. Strong emphasis is placed on things that happen before around and after the project itself. So while the basic disciplines like engaging with stakeholders managing scope schedules costs risks issues changes and communication are thoroughly explained other important aspects are covered. These include: governance of a project and of a portfolio of projects project selection with its financial and non-financial aspects effective use of the business case through to benefits realization procurement outsourcing and partnership and also the agile mindset that is valuable beyond Agile projects. Besides project managers and sponsors this book is intended for people who are working in business or government at any level or for MBA students. It offers perspectives that enable them to learn more from their everyday experience. It is not aimed at undergraduate students although many would benefit from the contents. | Managing Business Projects The Essentials

How to Manage Project Stakeholders Effective Strategies for Successful Large Infrastructure Projects

How to Manage Project Stakeholders Effective Strategies for Successful Large Infrastructure Projects

This book outlines how to identify stakeholders analyse theirs stakes and plan and implement an engagement strategy to secure relevant input and dependable buy-in to assure the successful delivery of Large Infrastructure Projects. It also addresses common stakeholder management inadequacies and is supplemented with four extended practical exercises to help readers apply the principles to their own large complex projects and ensure project success. The project management industry particularly the Large Infrastructure Projects domain has only recently awakened to the reality that failed Stakeholder Management probably leads to a failure of the project altogether. Due to the complexities involved most traditional approaches to managing stakeholders have developed serious difficulties in dealing with large and complex projects. This book presents a Systems Thinking approach to managing stakeholders that accommodates these complexities and seeks to crystallise the notion that managing projects means managing stakeholders while also introducing an ethical perspective (i. e. stakeholders have legitimate rights regardless of their power to influence the project). This shifts the paradigm from Management of Stakeholders to Management for Stakeholders. It is essential reading for all those involved with managing large projects including project managers sponsors and executives. It will also be useful for advanced students of project management and systems engineering looking to understand and expand their knowledge of infrastructure projects and Systems Engineering. | How to Manage Project Stakeholders Effective Strategies for Successful Large Infrastructure Projects
