Written by well-known author and PMP, Hans Thamhain, the proposed book is designed as a both a professional reference and textbook, providing management practitioners and students of project management with the latest concepts and tools for leading technology-oriented projects effectively. It will set forth the guiding principles for managing today's technology-based projects, extending the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) and providing a practical framework for integrating the various managerial dimensions, with an enterprise perspective, in four major areas: (1) Strategic alignment of projects with the enterprise; (2) the process of project management and its organizational support systems; (3) the available tools and techniques of project management; (4) people and team leadership within the project organization. The managerial aspects and people issues will be emphasized throughout the book. The author will include 10 case studies to be followed through the book, and both end-of-chapter review questions and exercises to aid in student learning and professional understanding of the concepts presented.
