Power In Projects, Programs And Portfolios

Beskrivelse

Projects are vital for the survival of organizations and the development of society, and being a good project manager is more important than ever. Over the years Power in Projects, Programs, and Portfolios has become the leading foundational text in project management for both experienced and new project managers in both public and private organizations. More than 85,000 project managers have benefited from previous editions of this book at universities, educational institutions, and training providers.

In this 3rd edition, the core remains the project's objectives, planning, estimation, control, and risk management, combined with softer topics such as leadership, stakeholder management, change management, communication, and conflict management.

This edition also introduces many important updates in both content and delivery. There is a focus on sustainability in all aspects of project management and across the entire value chain. Two new types of projects are described, along with methods for constructively working with change in development teams through behavioral design and narrative coaching. Hybrid project management and modern portfolio management, based on queue theory, pipeline, and portfolio weight, are also included. And the book has a fresh and inviting layout, with key takeaways added at the end of each chapter.

One of the book's strengths remains its intentional application orientation, focusing on the connection between theory and practice. Additionally, the publisher's website offers free online access to a range of useful tools.
