    About this ebook

    Great managers are experts at getting bottom-line results, but often do not understand their role in the success or failure of their organization’s projects. They balk at the arcane terminology and are unaware of how to use valuable project management techniques and tools—a knowledge gap that can be a serious career barrier! Functional managers with even basic project management (PM) knowledge are the best people for keeping projects business-focused. This new book demystifies the jargon and processes, encouraging managers to jump into the PM arena and arming them with strategies for increasing the business value created by their company’s projects. Readers will discover: • Advice for switching gears from passive bystander to active owner of projects
    • Insights into four critical PM skills, including business analysis techniques, work breakdown structures, program sequencing techniques, and risk management methods
    • Step-by-step guidelines, case studies, and illustrations for mastering these skills. Project Management for Non-Project Managers provides easy-to-read, in-a-nutshell explanations of all the PM basics that managers need to achieve project success.

      This is a well written book on project management, with a twist. The book focuses on the customer or business side of projects and advances the the concept that project managers should always be mindful of their customers needs and responsibilities and strive to establish a working relationship with them. I couldn't agree more. Most project managers I have dealt with over the years wish the customer would stay out of their way so they can get their project completed by the numbers. Unfortunately, this usually results in the project not meeting the customers expectations. I gave it four stars as the book could have been stronger by providing more information on how to succeed in execution of a project; the most significant area leading to failed projects. I suggest reading "Visual Project Management" as a complement to this book.
