From the Back Cover

“ … [shows what] really makes projects and project managers successful. A must read for everyone interested in understanding what levers to pull to improve their delivery capability.”Perry Childs, Director, Childs Consulting.

 

"A simply written and well structured book that is a crucial support for both experienced project / programme managers and people new to the project management environment.” Paul Gilhooley, Project Director, Openreach (a BT Group business)

 

Processes don't drive projects; people do.

Successful project management is ultimately about effective communication, and more broadly, effective people management. Most books, however, deal largely with process - the mechanical, methodological side, and play down the human side.

The Project Manageris a fresh approach to project management: it moves beyond the formal methodologies and techniques to shed light on the core skills that will make you a great project manager. It puts the project manager centre stage and provides you with an invaluable set of experience-based lessons, tips, and advice to help you consistently deliver the results you want.

Whether you are a project manager yourself, or someone who works with or recruits project managers, this book will be essential reading.

DISCOVER WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW AND DO TO BE A GREAT PROJECT MANAGER
