      Synopsis

      Projects are the engines that drive innovation from idea to commercialization. In fact, the number of projects in most organizations today is expanding while operations is shrinking.. Yet, since many companies still focus on operational excellence and efficiency, most projects fail-largely because conventional project management concepts cannot adapt to a dynamic business environment. Moreover, top managers neglect their company's project activity, and line managers treat all their projects alike-as part of operations.

      Based on an unprecedented study of more than 600 projects in a variety of businesses and organizations across the globe, Reinventing Project Management provides a new and highly adaptive model for planning and managing projects to achieve superior business results.

      October 09, 2007: While this book brings a conceptual approach to the project management, it also supplies practicle tools which you can use for the improvement and growth of your business. The professionals who already have acquaintance with the basics of project management and seeking for WHAT IS NEXT in this area, will get great pleasure and enthusiasm from this book. Some of the concepts which are new for me as follows: The four bases of successful projects: 1.Novelty 2.Technology 3.Complexity 4.Pace Beyond Time, Budget, and Performance 'What are the criteria for successful projects': * Project efficiency, * Impact on the customer, * Business and direct success, * Preparation for the future.
