Download or read book Perspectives on Projects written by Rodney J. Turner and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-06-10 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern project management had its genesis in the field of operations research in the late 1940s, but today it is a much more diverse subject. It has evolved and developed a much wider range of methods, techniques, and skills that the project manager can draw upon. Not all these skills are relevant to every project, but an assortment of them will be relevant to most. This book aims to describe for students, researchers and managers the full range of skills that project managers can use to develop their methodologies.The authors group the skills into nine perspectives, representing nine schools of project management research and theory. By attaching a metaphor to each of these perspectives, students, researchers and managers are better able to understand each approach and decide whether it is best suited to the development of a strategy for managing their project. Perspectives on Projects builds upon the various theoretical orientations that the field of project management has developed. Featuring several case studies, drawn from a variety of settings, to illustrate how the different schools can provide different perspectives on projects, this book is an ideal text for anyone involved in project management.

Download or read book Project Management written by Thomas Browdy and published by . This book was released on 2009-08-25 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book?s focus is on how individuals can become better project managers by practicing well researched and tested elements of organizational psychology. By relying on these elements the reader will learn what is important organizationally, and why it?s important. Concepts are interrelated and connected to practitioner points of view. Organizational psychology is applied directly to project management behaviors so the reader can evaluate key participants and formulate a plan of action. Notions from organizational psychology include those of cognitive biases, group behavior, the leadership/management distinction, delayed gratification, organizational culture, and others. The book takes a mastery approach but not in the traditional learning sense. Mastery of project management is a process not a destination. The road to mastery is begun through a framework and terminology garnered from actual practice. The framework organizes individual practices so they can be recalled and improved upon.
