Thousands of project management–related books have been written.
Why is Optimizing Project Work, Management, and Delivery different?
This book represents the authors’ experiences gained from looking
at the problem of project management for 50 years and wondering why
projects cannot be more successful. Experience from various
management models and techniques has helped but still does not fit
reality or provide accurate forecasts. Industry surveys have
compiled the root causes of project failure, and yet they persist.
Is there no answer to this problem? As the book explains, the
management solution is not in the models or the theory but is found
in how they are mapped against the actual target project
characteristics. This is the book’s unique strength. There are
major coverage gaps in current project management models that also
need to be recognized. All of the existing models are correct in
some ways, and yet each is also wrong. The book starts by reviewing
popular models and related topics that help construct the building
blocks of an integrated model structure, which is at the core of
this book. The integrated model described here is meant to be a
decision-oriented view related to the project life cycle rather
than a cookbook of success steps. Project management is too complex
for a cookbook approach. This text helps managers find that right
path.
