Download or read book Communicating Project Management written by Benjamin Lauren and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-03-22 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Communicating Project Management argues that the communication practices of project managers have necessarily become participatory, made up of complex strategies and processes solidly grounded in rhetorical concepts. The book draws on case studies across organizational contexts and combines individual experiences to investigate how project management relies on communication as teams develop products, services, and internal processes. The case studies also provide examples of how project managers can be understood and studied as writers, further arguing project managers must approach communication as designed experience that must be intentionally inclusive. Author Benjamin Lauren illustrates to readers how teams work together to manage projects through complex coordinative communication practices, and highlights how project managers are constantly learning and evolving by analyzing where they succeed and fail. He concludes that technical and professional communicators have a pivotal role in supporting and facilitating participative approaches to communicating project management.

Download or read book Global Project Management written by Mr Jean Binder and published by Gower Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2012-09-28 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ongoing research shows that whilst 90 per cent of large companies are conducting global projects to take advantage of distributed skills, around-the-clock operations and virtual team environments, less than one third of them have effective, established practices to help project managers and team members working over a distance. As a consequence, most organisations struggle to reach the required levels of quality and effectiveness from these projects because their methods and practices are not adapted to a global multi-cultural environment, where most communication is in writing and asynchronous. Global Project Management describes how to adapt your organisation and your projects to thrive in this environment. The book goes beyond the recommendations on collaborative tools, to suggest the development of best practices on cross-cultural team management and global communication, recommend organisational changes and project structures, and propose alternatives for the implementation of the new practices and methods. The text is filled with real-life examples and techniques and illustrates how to apply the recommendations as part of the successful management of any global project.

Download or read book The Persuasive Project Manager Communicating for Understanding written by Bill Brantley Pmp and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-02-03 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You may have heard that "90% of a project manager's work is communication." But, have you heard why communication is so important and what is good project management communication? Answering those questions is why I spent the last ten years studying project management communication and what makes a successful project. Not only as a working project manager but as a communication researcher. I found that project management communication needs to be reinvented for today's more complex and agile projects. Communication is no longer just the transfer of information and giving directives to project teams. Modern communication theory is based upon creating shared understanding - "the coordinated management of meaning." And nowhere is it more important to manage and coordinate meaning - and understanding - than in projects. In my book, I will explain: -How to communicate for understanding instead of just giving information.-What Aristotle taught us about effective communication and why his 2,000-year old advice is still vital to persuasive communication.-How the "Coordinated Management of Meaning" can help you develop and lead high-performing project teams.-Why the project manager is the communication hub and how you can better manage the flow of project communication.-Why project managers need to master both emotional intelligence and cultural intelligence when communicating with their project teams and stakeholders. Be more effective in negotiations when you understand the hidden emotional and cultural subtexts.-What cognitive biases are and how they are barriers to understanding. This book will teach you how to recognize and overcome cognitive biases to better communicate your message.-How to effectively communicate online with a distributed workforce by virtually "present."-Why communicating for understanding is the foundation of being a coaching, situational leadership, and servant leadership project manager.This is not just a book on theory; I also give the working project manager practical tips and tools to help him or her improve their project management communication. These workplace-tested tips and tools are ready to use today as you manage your projects.I wrote this book because I couldn't find many books on project management communication. And the books I found were mainly focused on the outdated information transfer model. Because communication is important to project success, this book is dedicated to giving project managers the latest communication research and methods so he or she can create a culture of understanding in projects and increase the chances for project success.
