Recurrent problems with project performance in the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) in the 1990s raised questions in Congress about the practices and processes used by the department to manage projects. The 105th Committee of Conference on Energy and Water Resources directed DOE to investigate establishing a project review process. Many of the findings and recommendations in this series of reports identified the need for improved planning in the early project stages (front-end planning) to get the project off to the right start, and the continuous monitoring of projects by senior management to make sure the project stays on course. These reports also stressed the need for DOE to act as an owner, not a contractor, and to train its personnel to function not as traditional project managers but as knowledgeable owner's representatives in dealing with projects and contractors. The NRC Committee for Oversight and Assessment of Department of Energy Project Management determined that it would be helpful for DOE to sponsor a forum in which representatives from DOE and from leading corporations with large, successful construction programs would discuss how the owner's role is conducted in government and in industry. In so doing, the committee does not claim that all industrial firms are better at project management than the DOE. Far from it-the case studies represented at this forum were selected specifically because these firms were perceived by the committee to be exemplars of the very best practices in project management. Nor is it implied that reaching this level is easy; the industry speakers themselves show that excellence in project management is difficult to achieve and perhaps even more difficult to maintain. Nevertheless, they have been successful in doing so, through constant attention by senior management.

Enterprises today realise their many plans for innovation and change through projects. This is necessary to meet the challenges posed by globalisation, market dynamics and tough competition. However, successful innovation can only be achieved when projects are based on a broad professional and methodical foundation. Moreover, modern project management depends on a comprehensive and forward-looking management system. The efficiency of this system stems from an optimal interaction of the elements of the system, as well as ist integration within the enterprise. The application of classic project development techniques will, for instance, deliver a purely functional result. However, what is also important is a properly conducted approach to change management that also supports the psychological change process, through which all the people involved must go, in a professional manner. This book highlights the fact that project management is far more than merely trendy. With the aid of numerous diagrams, it delivers a real knowledge of project management independent of field of specialisation and level of hierarchy. Thanks to clear and reader-friendly language, concise learning aids such as learning objectives and an instructive case study, this book allows the complex subject of modern project management to be studied independently in an interesting way. As Managing Director of SPOL AG, Bruno Jenny realizes and accompanies various projects at various hierarchical levels with internationally active insurance, banking and industrial concerns as well as public authorities. In this function he has been able to gather a great deal of project-related experience through functional as well as psychological changes on the strategic and operative levels. As a lecturer, coach and testing expert the author is a well-versed authority on the current educational scene. In many lectures at public and internal management seminars as well as by means of various publications he communicates professional project management as a pioneering management system. He is a pioneering personality in the realm of modern project management. The findings published in this book are essentially characterized by his experiences. German version of the book (new edition!): Projektmanagement – Das Wissen für eine erfolgreiche Karriere.

Transform the PMBOK® Guide from a framework to a sharpened tool in your project manager's toolbox In project management circles, it's often joked that "there's the right way, the wrong way, and the PMBOK® way" to manage projects. In truth, it's really about the methodology you choose. The PMBOK® Guide is a consensus-based standard that thousands of project management professionals find immensely valuable in the process of developing an effective methodology. But exactly how does a project manager take the information provided in the PMBOK® Guide and apply it most effectively and appropriately to an actual project environment? This book can be the answer. It is basically a "guide to the guide"—a road map to applying the tools of the PMBOK® Guide to your organization's or project's unique nature and requirements. Bringing the PMBOK® Guide to Life: A Companion for the Practicing Project Manager builds a bridge between the PMBOK® Guide and the common needs of today's practicing project managers. It explains and elaborates on specific techniques, terms, and the application of tools that will enable project managers to effectively adapt the principles and processes described in the PMBOK® Guide to the practical world of project management. Readers will find suggested approaches for the use of project management tools and techniques along with templates developed directly from information provided in the PMBOK® Guide. Suggestions and study tips are also included to assist in preparing for the PMP exam, and a Project Plan Accelerator (PPA) can be used with the PMBOK® Guide by project managers and project teams to develop plans that are specifically tailored to meet the needs of your team, your clients, and your sponsoring organization. Written by two of the leading experts in the field, Bringing the PMBOK® to Life will help every project manager translate the PMBOK® Guide's tools and techniques into actionable, commonsense approaches to managing a project.
