This book was released on 2011-12 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Did you know that more than 60 percent of executives say they struggle making kill/go decisions on their projects? Corporations are counting on project managers more than ever to help them navigate these tough decisions. Do you have the right tools, team, skills, and data necessary to help your executives? The environment that project managers operate in has turned global, with faster "to-market" turnarounds, higher sensitivities to regulatory compliance, and zero tolerance for low quality. Rapid advancements in technology and offshore resourcing make projects and their path to success more complex and fraught with risk. If you feel unprepared, then you need S.T.O.P. - The Project Management Survival Plan, a new book from The Actuation Press. S.T.O.P. provides the reader with proven project management principles complemented with tools, tips, techniques, and stories to ensure your success in project delivery. The S.T.O.P. management process is designed around the survival principles used by many of our armed forces divisions. Its foundation is based on the understanding that project management is more than just managing scope, schedule, and cost. Every project manager is familiar with the iron triangle. But it's time that a new triangle emerges. A triangle based on managing value, team performance, and communication. Steven has taken those principles and constructed a framework for project management planning, execution, monitoring, and control. The framework is designed to ensure you've done everything you need, from a project management perspective, to ensure you and your team succeeds and guarantee you're not the reason for stopping the project. What's inside the book: New equations providing focus and the ability to quantify value, team performance, and communication Tips and techniques to increase the value of your project schedule 5 steps to Risk Management Guidance and instruction on how to evaluate your project and stop it if necessary Heat map techniques for project portfolio management And much more...

Book excerpt: From the beginning. The Project Manager's Survival Guide was intended as a list of ideas and thoughts--reminders about the things that are easy to forget but which always seem to come back and bite even the most experienced project manager. Many of these reminders come from executives, line managers, and project managers interviewed about their real-world experiences in project management. At the conclusion of each interview, they were asked to list the primary ways that projects, and project managers, get in trouble. Several chapters conclude with excerpts from these interviews. This new second edition of The Project Manager's Survival Guide is filled with checklists, quick assessment tools, and reminders that will prove valuable to even the most experienced project manager. Many of the chapters include a must read section, How To Get in Trouble, which identifies pitfalls common to project management. The book also includes self-evaluation exercises designed to help you think about your own effectiveness. Messages From the Brass lists top-management expectations and provides insights into project management from the perspective of the project manager's boss. New in this updated edition are a critical chapter on some of the unique aspects of dealing with international projects plus a revised team leader assessment instrument. Contents: Getting Started, The Project Manager's Role, Vision, Defining Goals and Objectives, Ownership, Planning, Organizing and Staffing, Team-Building, Running the Project, Reporting and Closedown, International Projects, A Self Assessment of Team-Oriented Leadership, The Project Manager's Checklist, Messages from the Brass

If you relax your guard, Zombie Scrum comes back. This guide helps you stay on your guard, providing very practical tips for identifying when you have become a Zombie and how to stop this from happening. A must-have for any Zombie Scrum hunter.” --Dave West, CEO, Scrum.org “Barry, Christiaan, and Johannes have done a magnificent job of accumulating successful experiences and sharing their inspiring stories in this very practical book. They don't shy away from telling it like it is, which is why their proposals are always as useful as they are grounded in reality.” --Henri Lipmanowicz, cofounder, Liberating Structures Millions of professionals use Scrum. It is the #1 approach to agile software development in the world. Even so, by some estimates, over 70% of Scrum adoptions fall flat.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Project management is one of the fastest-growing occupations in the world. The Project Management Institute has seen membership growth of more than 1000% in the last 10 years. But while many of these managers know how to plan a successful project in theory, very few have the practical tools needed to navigate the politics of today’s corporate world. Project managers need more than just technical skills; they need the right communication skills to succeed. Filled with real-world examples, Project Management That Works gives readers the tools they need to: communicate with their team as well as stakeholders • get their teams to function well • run fewer and more productive meetings • turn around failing projects • utilize data properly to make emotional conversations unemotional • know when a project is really done The only book that addresses the real challenges project managers face today, this is an accessible and invaluable tool that will show every reader how to accomplish his mission—no matter the obstacles.
