Download or read book Project Management written by James W. Marion and published by Momentum Press. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge published by the Project Management Institute provides a roadmap of 47 processes designed to support project managers in all phases of project management. The sheer number of processes and their allocation across process groups and knowledge areas may leave project managers in a quandary about where to start and how to apply the many components of project management processes. What is lacking is a simple explanatory guide for the layman that clarifies the “big picture” of the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK). This explains where a project manager should begin when managing projects, and how the project manager can easily make use of the PMBOK framework to progress from an initial idea to a project schedule.

Download or read book Project Management written by James W. Marion and published by Momentum Press. This book was released on 2018-10-17 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book clarifies the differences between plans and schedules, takes the project manager through the process of plan development, and finally, points the way toward successful project execution. Although the terms “plan” and “schedule” are at times used interchangeably, they are in fact very different. A complete project plan contains a project schedule—but it also includes much more than that (e.g., risk management, quality management, human resource management, and procurement). These differences have implications for the layman as well as the experienced project manager and have implications for successful project management practice. Additionally, the contents of the project plan have evolved over time as versions of the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) were updated. Due to this, project plans today include important elements that were not included in project planning in the context of earlier versions of the PMBOK and the execution of the project plan requires guidance beyond that which is outlined in the PMBOK framework. The PMBOK emphasizes planning and monitoring and controlling—but very little support is provided for project executing. This begs the question, just what does it mean to execute a project plan?

Download or read book Common Sense in Environmental Management written by Jonathan Woolley and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-09-02 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Common Sense in Environmental Management examines common sense not in theory, but in practice. Jonathan Woolley argues that common sense as a concept is rooted in English experiences of landscape and land management and examines it ethnographically - unveiling common sense as key to understanding how British nature and public life are transforming in the present day. Common sense encourages English people to tacitly assume that the management of land and other resources should organically converge on a consensus that yields self-evident, practical results. Furthermore, the English then tend to assume that their own position reflects that consensus. Other stakeholders are not seen as having legitimate but distinct expertise and interests – but are rather viewed as being stupid and/or immoral, for ignoring self-evident, pragmatic truths. Compromise is therefore less likely, and land management practices become entrenched and resistant to innovation and improvement. Through a detailed ethnographic study of the Norfolk Broads, this book explores how environmental policy and land management in rural areas could be more effective if a truly common sense was restored in the way we manage our shared environment. Using academic and lay deployments of common sense as a route into the political economy of rural environments, this book will be of great interest to scholars and students of socio-cultural anthropology, sociology, human geography, cultural studies, social history, and the environmental humanities.

Book excerpt: Do you wish that the experience, wisdom, insight, skills, and knowledge of the most successful project managers and team leaders could be distilled down into a short book? Get yourself a copy of PM - 101, the most basic project management wisdom that fits your pocket, literally! Why Do You Need to Read PM 101? Project managers, team leaders, program managers, quality managers, Project Management Officers or anybody who is responsible for producing timely outcomes can benefit from this concise, yet detailed reference guide. PM 101 allows responsible decision makers to focus on the few basic things that can make or break a successful project, even while wading through thousands of details. The particular management framework or methodology does not matter, but the action items do matter. This book includes 101 tips based upon the real experiences of successful project managers, engaged in a variety of leadership positions. PM 101 distills down all the various management frameworks into the few actions that really matter. PM 101 covers everything from scheduling tasks to handling difficult stakeholders to navigating corporate politics. These actions are independent of a particular management style, framework, or methodology. If you are new to management or have been leading teams for years, you probably have been promoted to a position of authority because you already have shown you had the skills to successfully contribute to a project team and learn your company's project methodology. However, actually leading a project requires a different skill set than merely being a productive worker or passing a management course. PM 101 provides that handy reference guide. This book is small enough to slip inside your pocket, and yet it distills down a lifetime of successful project management experience into clear actionable items. You may read this book quickly the first time, and then find that you end up consulting it daily as you find yourself caught in the day to day tasks as your experience and responsibilities increase. Purchase and read PM 101 right away to help your employees, your company, and your career. Common Sense vs. Uncommon Wisdom Different companies rely upon a variety of management frameworks. However, no matter how companies are managed, successful projects tend to rely upon a few actions that can be described in a concise way and handled with common sense. The exact management methodology will not impact a project's outcome as much as the daily actions of the management team. Sometimes this boils down to common sense, but sometimes success comes from uncommon wisdom. You can also buy this book for all of the team leaders and project managers in your organization.
