Description

How do project managers get things done? They generally have substantial responsibility, and they depend on the cooperation of other project stakeholders for their success. In Organizing Projects for Success, Vijay Verma shows that understanding the issues of authority, accountability, reliability, and responsibility, as well as knowing how to gain the commitment of project participants and how to delegate effectively, are all critical to good project management. He shows that even the best soft skills can be overridden by an organizational structure that does not support management by projects. This book is Volume One of The Human Aspects of Project Management Series.

Look for Volume Two and Three of The Human Aspects of Project Management Series: Human Resource Skills for the Project Manager & Managing the Project Team.

3The relationships of the project manager towards the other roles in the organization  Feb 09, 2008
This book explains the difference between the role of the project manager and the other roles in the organization, like the line manager for example, and explains important concepts such as authority, accountability, responsibility and reliability.
From there, it looks at different organizational models, from weak to strong matrix.
Easy to read and addressing the typical problems the project manager is confronted to.

4A must have for ever PM  Aug 04, 2007
The book provides a wealth on information that others in the PM range don't. It looks on the human side in projects, how to set the project INCLUDING the team up for succes.

This requires definitely more than just a good network diagram, a good scope and a decent budget. What more.. can be found in the book.

Usefull for beginner and advanced PM. Altough I think someone with more experience understands the book more.

The only regret I have is that I did not buy it earlier.
