Produktbeschreibungen
Amazon.co.uk
Until the early 90s, Project Management was definitely located somewhere near the unsexy end of the business spectrum. But now with the rise of downsizing and outsourcing it has become one of the hot disciplines. Professional membership of the U.S.-based Project Management Institute has quadrupled in the last decade and Microsoft claimed recently to have over two million users worldwide of its project management software. The reasons for this growth are simple. Project management is about managing "projects", that is one-off pieces of work (as opposed to on-going operations). Downsizing, outsourcing and the accelerating pace of change have meant that increasingly work is carried out on an ad hoc, one-off project basis. Publisher John Wiley has cannily spotted this and has now added Project Management to its "Fast Forward" MBA series. It is designed as an advanced textbook for businessmen with a grasp of the basics and insufficient time (or inclination) to go back to school to learn more. Written by Eric Verzuh, president of the Versatile Company, a leading project management consultancy, and co-author of Accelerate Your Career as a Project Manager, this is not a heavy academic text.
Like the rest of the series it is designed to let the reader extract maximum information in minimum time. There is a strong use of graphics with tables, charts, cross heads and bullet points. Important passages are flagged in bold or emblazoned with the words "key concept." When you read it, you realise that there is nothing magical about project management, just the application of careful common sense. The book covers all the basic stuff like planning, time tabling, quantity and price estimation, resource allocation and scheduling. But it also acknowledges that there is inevitably a political dimension to every project, no matter how small. So it has important sections on how to ensure that all the stakeholders in the project are kept "on board" and the importance of communications.
As Verzuh states in his introduction: "Every project participant from part-time team member to executive sponsor, becomes more effective once he or she understands the basics of project management." Really this is a book about management that every manager should read, whether they have a project or not. --Alex Benady -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine vergriffene oder nicht verfügbare Ausgabe dieses Titels.

The first Project Management book that makes sense.,

Rezension bezieht sich auf: The Fast Forward MBA in Project Management (Taschenbuch)
I've purchased a number of books on Project Management. They run the gamut from dry, cryptic self-congratulatory works of academic vanity to the disorganized and insultingly simplistic (including anything with the word "idiot's" in the title).This is the first book I've read that I would consider appropriate for both seasoned PM's and those new to the discipline. The format is great. For someone new to Project Management it has a logical, step by step flow backed up with relevant visuals and great case studies. For the more seasoned PM it is a treasure trove of problem-solving techniques, examples and formulas. It's not a book you'll be willing to loan to your friends (my copy looks to become one of the more "dog-eared" in my collection). I run a small company but many of my clients are quite large (the companies, not the... nevermind). The concepts in "The Fast Forward MBA in Project Management" are adaptable to any size business and any size project; the case studies range from the development of the Boeing 767-400 to how Seattle's Safeco Field keeps their grass green. If the rest of "The Fast Forward MBA" series are as strong and results-oriented as this book, I may end up getting the collection.

One of the best Project Management books,

Rezension bezieht sich auf: The Fast Forward MBA in Project Management (Taschenbuch)
I've been really impressed about this book:- strongly rooted in reality - covers all areas used in managing projects - give a strong sensation the author got the knowledge from practice, not from books only - concise, clear, easy to understand and put in practice for the experienced project managers - useful to be used line a guide (or bible, whatever you like) to come back from time to time in order remember how to plan and implement, ro to refine your understanding The less experienced project managers might find it too condensed or too "dry". Do not be affraid about this. Just come back to this book a little bit later, and you can discover you understand better what seems to be complicated at the first lecture. The beginners in Project Management might want to use it as a start point in improving knowledge in different PM areas where they feel less experienced. Overall if you easily read and underastand this book, this means you have a good level of understanding and expertise. If you feel not all chapters are crystal clear, this might be a sign you have to work more on different PM areas. Helfen Sie anderen Kunden bei der Suche nach den hilfreichsten Rezensionen

Rezension bezieht sich auf: The Fast Forward MBA in Project Management (Taschenbuch)
I teach Project Management to Fortune 100 companies and I'm a principal in an internet based project management enterprise, 'ProjectOasis.com'. I tell my students: 'If you want 1 book that covers it all in a way you can quickly access and put to practical use then get Eric's book. The material in the book is well proven and can be applied in all industries and on all projects.' I've seen this book stolen from conference rooms! I recommend you buy your copy... from Amazon of course. Helfen Sie anderen Kunden bei der Suche nach den hilfreichsten Rezensionen
