Project Management: (A Handbook With Industry Cases) - Tapa dura

Sinopsis

We live in a very competitive and goal-oriented world. There is an abundance of readily available information. Coaches claim to know the secret to successful project management, and advertisements for workshops and webinars appear like nickels on a dime.

The reality of the situation, in spite of skilled and well-educated project managers religiously following the project management triangle - scope, time, and budget, with the objective of executing and delivering a high-quality final product, is sometimes not the case. Some of these projects do not see the day of light, or even if completed as planned, on completion steadily result in failure. The key is the careful balancing of these constraints keeping in mind the value that the stakeholder believes in.

The success of a project depends on project managers in understanding the dynamics that relates with the project and gunning for the right stakeholders, putting in the work to engage with them with a jaunt of ease, and do whatever is needed to be done keeping in mind the values of the stakeholder. Why all this fuss, well, depending on the project, stakeholders may be the primary decision makers who have the power to affect its completion; they may be unrelated stakeholders who could cause a stir if the project does not align with their values; or the most kind-hearted men may be impacted by your series of choices that lead to the Titanic's gradual sinking.
