The People Side of Project Management - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

Most project managers concentrate on planning, budgeting and administration. But the critical factor is always the human one - the 'people side.' This book shows how to manage relationships with clients, sponsors and members of the project team themselves.
The authors - both experienced project leaders - first of all identify the key players. They go on to discuss the interactions that take place among them and then analyse the impact of these interactions on scheduling, budgeting, change management, monitoring and other project activities. In doing so they examine the psychological and political problems that can arise and suggest ways to deal with them.
Project managers will learn from this book how to improve their working relationships with team members, clients and senior managers; how to evaluate the impact of their actions on all relevant parties; how to encourage greater involvement of all participants in a project; how to overcome barriers to effective communication; and how to generate increased productivity.
The book will also be useful to others involved in the project environment, including senior managers, project team members and project sponsors.
