Riassunto

Sound advice for product, engineering, and service-based oganizations

Unlike other project management books that focus on engineering and manufacturing settings alone, this resource encompasses product, engineering, and service-based organizations. Plus, it covers important new developments in software, outsourcing, quality, and related issues. Much more than a mere checklist of techniques, Managing Projects in Organizations provides you with a sound, overall methodology for dealing with information-age projects. You get advice on overcoming problems at the organizational, team and individual levels, managing human resources, selecting the best team structure, identifying customer needs, defining project requirements, and managing the inevitable politics every project presents, plus much, much more!

Dalla quarta di copertina

Since the first edition of Managing Projects in Organizations was published in 1987, projects have increasingly become an organizational building block as companies have downsized and horizontalized as well as initiated use of teams as a means to greater productivity and empowerment. Project management has been adopted for use in more service and light industry settings, and project-management skills have become more in demand for general managers. The first edition of Managing Projects in Organizations has become the thinking manager's guide to project management: a balanced, conversational presentation of the full range of project management issues aimed at people with management--but not necessarily project management--experience.

In this revised second edition of Managing Projects in Organizations, J. Davidson Frame presents a readable, accessible presentation of project management principles. Unlike many other books in project management that focus on engineering and manufacturing settings, this second edition now encompasses product, engineering, and service-based organizations and has also been updated to cover developments in software, outsourcing, quality, and related issues.
