Putting projects back at the center of organizations

Achieving optimal project planning and project management means identifying critical success factors, in other words, the few things that really count to attain project goals.

Project Management is a truly vast discipline, one which has gradually incorporated contents from a wide variety of contexts over the years, contents that have proven to be pertinent in this field too. This book takes the factors underpinning good project management and distills them, while underscoring the importance of integrating methodological and organizational aspects of this activity as well. For companies, knowing how to manage a project is a guarantee of a vital competitive advantage, because the compression of product life cycles is shrinking the window of opportunity for recovering investments. This translates into less tolerance for mistakes. From a description of the main project characteristics to the identification of critical success factors for projects, from the concept of lifecycles to the behaviors typical of each stage, from managing everything from stakeholders to physical and economic resources, the book illustrates every aspect of Project Management, and gives a number of examples and real-world business cases. In addition, this second edition of Project Management presents a new chapter that takes a deep dive into the Agile Approach, describing the initial conception and detailing its various applications and some basic operating practices. The book concludes by focusing on management in multi-project environments and providing a checklist for assessing project robustness in every life stage.
