Project and Program Turnaround (Best Practices in Portfolio, Program, and Project Management)
by Thomas PavelkoThe U.S. economy thrives on the development of new products, new systems, and new processes. Usually, these advances start as a flash of inspiration by highly creative individuals. It is complex and difficult to go from initial inspiration to a final product, process, or system. So it is not surprising that approximately one out of every four development programs fails. A development program or project in trouble is distinct from a program encountering typical development difficulties. Such a program or project can appear to be in free fall. This book identifies the essential fundamentals for executing a program or project turnaround effectively. These fundamentals include: Clearly identifying the next critical accomplishment needed for success Assigning responsibility for each program task to one person Capitalizing on colocation and face-to-face communication Recruiting problem solvers Wining commitment from team members Using team accomplishments to propel high team morale The guidance provided in this book is applicable to all program or project genres, including manufacturing, nonprofit work, education, medicine, investment management, and municipal management. Software has become a great part of both providing product functionality and assisting with managing product development. A special chapter devoted to software development dispels common misconceptions and provides guidance for turning around this special type of project or program. This book is a highly valuable source of insight for a wide range of readers, including management professionals, business students, and executive managers. Every member of a product or project development team will find its recommendations to be of high value.

Project Management beyond Waterfall and Agile (Best Practices in Portfolio, Program, and Project Management)
by Mounir AjamThis book goes beyond the paint by numbers approach, transcending the "how" of project management to the "what" and "why," which is critical for leaders of change. — Dr. Joel B. Carboni, President and Founder, GPM Global and President, IPMA-USA <P><P> Project Management beyond Waterfall and Agile presents a flexible, universal, and integrated three-dimensional model for managing projects, the Customizable and Adaptable Methodology for Managing Projects™ (CAMMP™ ). By tailoring and customizing the model to a specific industry or organization and by adapting it to a function or project classification, this model can be used to manage any project. CAMMP™ can also be used both in a traditional or an Agile environment. CAMMP™ integrates leading concepts on competence, processes, and sustainability. The model’s three dimensions are project lifecycle, project management processes, and, finally, competence, sustainability, and best practices. The book explains how to integrate these dimensions to manage a project across the three dimensions and the project stages. CAMMP™ is a stage-gate process, which is vital for project success. <P><P>The current state of practice in project management is not sustainable. The root causes of this problem include a lack of standardized processes, missing methods or methodological approaches, and no real organizational system for managing projects. <P><P>This book introduces a system to address these shortcomings. It focuses on the elements of this system, which is a practical and systematic methodological approach for managing and delivering all types of projects. <P><P>CAMMP™ integrates the best learning from the various global associations in the field. The book distills the experience and knowledge of a practitioner working in different roles for more than three decades on various types of projects of all sizes and complexities. It is a practical book by a practitioner writing for practitioners.
Project Management Bibliography
by Safari Content TeamProject Management is an integral part of businesses, reaching into most every industry, country and culture throughout the world. At its most basic level, Project Management is a set of principles, guidelines and tools used to manage work. It breaks down large units of work (i.e., feed the tribe) into more manageable sets of tasks (i.e., establish a hunting team, establish a gathering team, make and distribute tools, schedule the hunt, etc.). When these task sets are accomplished together, and in a specific order, the result is that the main unit of work is achieved. Project Management also consists of guidelines and tools used to monitor progress toward the main goal (i.e., How will a rain storm effect the scheduled hunt? Did the hunt start on time? Did we gather enough food for the week?). In this bibliography you will learn about basic, iterative and advanced Project Management techniques, the required tools to use, certification prep, useful toolkits and more. Whether you have just been thrown into Project Management without any formal training or instruction, or if you are a seasoned veteran of Project Management and already hold one or more certifications, this Project Management Bibliography is your guide to navigating the vast array of instructional media available on the topic, all of which you will find in Safari Books Online.
