View IS project management as an art as well as a science. . . .
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 - 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 - no project is successful if
only software aspects are considered.It gives a truly international
view of the domain - 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 - 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 - 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 - these
provide material for class discussion and group work. There is an
accompanying CD with further material includingPowerPoint slides
for each chapter. The material has been used on our courses in the
United States, Europe and Australia, given to practitioners as well
as students (both undergraduate and postgraduate) - it has been
well tested as part of our own project managemenThe material in
this text has been proven successful through repeated use in
courses in the United States, Europe, and Australia, by
practitioners as well as undergraduate and postgraduate students.
