There are a number of books out there on project management. What is different and specific about this book?
- There is a balance between socio-cultural and technical aspects and there is a balance between qualitative and quantitative aspects â project management is seen as both an art and a science.
- It provides an information systems orientation for project management: neither information technology oriented on the one side nor production and operations oriented on the other, but of application to both within an organizational-wide view.
- It stresses information systems as a whole, not just software development â no project is successful if only software aspects are considered.
- It gives a truly international view of the domain â examples and experiences from different parts of the world add richness as well as context to the material. Globalization has ensured that most projects take on an international dimension.
- The book provides a coherent explanation of the concerns of the project manager as the project develops through the project life cycle â it does not follow a 'kitchen sink approach'.
- Each chapter has the following consistent structure: introduction and outline, an exhibit, the main text with examples, chapter summary, exercises, discussion questions, interview with project manager and appendix â this structure provides coherence and consistency.
- The exhibit, interview and appendix contain real-world examples, experiences, case studies, discussion material, software descriptions and professional codes â these provide material for class discussion and group work.
