Modern project management had its genesis in the field of
operations research in the late 1940s, but today it is a much more
diverse subject. It has evolved and developed a much wider range of
methods, techniques, and skills that the project manager can draw
upon.
Not all these skills are relevant to every project, but an
assortment of them will be relevant to most. This book aims to
describe for students, researchers and managers the full range of
skills that project managers can use to develop their
methodologies.The authors group the skills into nine perspectives,
representing nine schools of project management research and
theory. By attaching a metaphor to each of these perspectives,
students, researchers and managers are better able to understand
each approach and decide whether it is best suited to the
development of a strategy for managing their project.
Perspectives on Projects builds upon the various theoretical
orientations that the field of project management has developed.
Featuring several case studies, drawn from a variety of settings,
to illustrate how the different schools can provide different
perspectives on projects, this book is an ideal text for anyone
involved in project management.
