Beschreibung
The keys to project management success delivered by one of the world's most respected experts in the field
Why do some project managers achieve their project goals while others fail? Drawing on his years of experience as a recognized global expert on project management and organizational change, author Tres Roeder answers that question, and lays out a proven path to project success.
Focusing on the major differences between project management and other types of management--not least of them being the temporary nature of projects versus the repetitive nature of most managerial tasks--Roeder describes best practices in all key areas of managing project stakeholders.
* A recognized global expert on project management provides the foundational elements required for project management success
* Contributes toward the fulfillment of the continuing education required every three years to maintain PMP accreditation
* Uses real-world scenarios and relevant case studies to present project management concepts to beginning and intermediate PMPs
* Contains chapters on Leadership, Buy In, and Negotiation for more advanced project managers
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"Lots of project management books teach how to deliver project objectives on-time and within budget. But very few teach how to manage the critical stakeholder dimension. This is the best that I've seen because it provides common-sense tools and tips for turning your stakeholders into raving fans". --Terry Schmidt, PMP & SMP, Founder, ManagementPro.com; author, Strategic Project Management Made Simple: Practical Tools for Leaders and Teams "Mission driven organizations like The Centers for Families and Children depend on internal and/or external project managers that can successfully lead and manage all the stakeholders involved in creating, designing and executing key strategic projects. As we all know firsthand, it's the people involved and impacted by the project, "the stakeholders," that will make or break an organization's ability to successfully implement a strategic project. Tres Roeder's book Managing Project Stakeholdersprovides clear, actionable techniques and tools required to effectively "managing the stakeholders." It is a must read for all of us managing multiple stakeholders in order to effectively implement a project on time and on budget."--Bernadette M. Kerrigan, Chief Talent OfficerWeitere Details
