Project Management - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

This text provides practical guidance on all stages of people management, from preparing the plan and recruiting the team, to establishing objectives, motivating the team, monitoring progress and bring the project to a close. More and more organizations now believe that project styles of working can help them respond quickly and flexibly to today's key business challenges. Yet, taking people away from their normal work and forming them into project teams invariably means rethinking traditional styles of people management. Many people focus on budgeting, scheduling and the stages of the process itself. In this text, the authors draw on the experiences of the Eastern Group, ICL, London Transport, Rank Xerox and the University of Westminster to illuminate the people aspects of project management, and the life cycle of project teams. They explore in turn: putting the team together - selecting the leader and recruiting members; aligning objectives, establishing processes and building relationships to get things moving; delivering results - motivating the players, managing performance and monitoring progress; and moving on - learning the lessons, celebrating success and bringing the project to a close. Throughout, the authors examine expert guidance on good practice, what tends to happen in the real world, and how organizations can devise solutions to bridge the gap. Effective corporate initiatives and processes are the bedrock of successful organizations; the "Developing Practice" series provides manager with essential frameworks to identify, formulate and implement the best policies and practice in the management and development of people. Roland and Frances are co-authors of "Management Information Systems and Statistics", "Training Needs Analysis and Evaluation" and "Customer Care".
