This book is a collection of key principles that should be used to "deliver" difficult and unrealistic projects. These principles are independent of the chosen project management methodology - they remain complementary to them and help to successfully complete even those projects that seem unrealistic: in terms of time, scope, finances and other aspects.
These holistic rules cover broad aspects from management, negotiation, psychology and business. It's full of real life examples of various international projects which were both successful or failed. The book shows that beyond certifications, methodologies, and manuals, project management professionals need to learn how to face crisis situations, changing scopes and toxic work environments and then successfully deliver a project.

Dateiformat: PDFKopierschutz: Wasserzeichen-DRM (Digital Rights Management)
Systemvoraussetzungen:
Das Dateiformat PDF zeigt auf jeder Hardware eine Buchseite stets identisch an. Daher ist eine PDF auch für ein komplexes Layout geeignet, wie es bei Lehr- und Fachbüchern verwendet wird (Bilder, Tabellen, Spalten, Fußnoten). Bei kleinen Displays von E-Readern oder Smartphones sind PDF leider eher nervig, weil zu viel Scrollen notwendig ist. Mit Wasserzeichen-DRM wird hier ein „weicher” Kopierschutz verwendet. Daher ist technisch zwar alles möglich – sogar eine unzulässige Weitergabe. Aber an sichtbaren und unsichtbaren Stellen wird der Käufer des E-Books als Wasserzeichen hinterlegt, sodass im Falle eines Missbrauchs die Spur zurückverfolgt werden kann.
