Summary
"Project management has exploded and splintered into a dozen different arenas since it was first developed for NASA space projects. Not surprisingly, project management has become increasingly specialized, as its principles have been applied to new and different fields of work." "Whether you're constructing a new plant or installing a new computer system, nothing offers a broader range of information than The AMA Handbook of Project Management. The first all-encompassing book on the subject, it provides definitive models, advice, and in-depth solutions to specific project management dilemmas." "Featuring contributions from thirty-four experts, The AMA Handbook of Project Management presents the critical concepts that all project managers must master. Readers will learn up-to-the-minute techniques and gain invaluable insight on how to establish project goals; focus managerial philosophy and strategy; implement planning on both the strategic and operational levels; design dependable, but flexible, organizational structures; establish and maintain teamwork; manage the project life cycle and meet objectives; and handle the transition from project idea to project reality." "This first-of-a-kind volume shows how to apply sophisticated project management techniques to traditional and new disciplines, including construction, defense, information systems, R&D, architecture and engineering, product development, public utilities, education, and community development. It also explores how to use project management principles in managing international and cross-cultural projects." "The AMA Handbook of Project Management is a ready-reference for everyone involved in project tasks, including upper management, executives, project sponsors, functional managers, and team members. But it doesn't just offer detailed explanations and leave it at that. Each key topic is accompanied by a variety of case studies to ensure thorough comprehension of key principles and practices. Keeping this guide within easy reach, managers will have all the information they need to get important projects off on the right track - and complete them on time."--BOOK JACKET.
