Описание: Until now, there has only been a shallow understanding of how the leadership actions of project managers interact with ethics and social responsibility. Empirical research into this subject has been sparse. Responsible Leadership, by Nicholas Clarke, Alessia D’Amato, Malcolm Higgs, and Ramesh Vahidi is the first study to investigate how the relationships among managers, team members, and other stakeholders can bring about personal and ethical conflicts that impact decision making.In this groundbreaking book, the authors explore how those who serve as leaders on projects can exercise their roles in ways that respond to the ever-increasing need for ethical decision making. They examine the factors that enable and constrain responsible leadership, looking at the issues faced by project managers as they interact with team members and other stakeholders. Responsible Leadership also provides new insights into how project managers view the moral implications of conflicts that occur as they conduct their work and is a valuable addition to the project management toolkit.
Like it or not, good project management doesn't just happen - just like excellent athletes and their coaches don't just happen.
Good project management is a cumulus of factors that influence the outcome of a project. On the one hand, you need a team dedicated to working within deadlines and within the quality and functionality specifications of the client.
On the other hand, you need a sturdy person who can actually overlook the development of the entire project - a project manager, that is. More often than not, people believe a project manager is some sort of spreadsheet juggler - a miraculous person capable of reading minds, motivating people (including themselves), and enabling intriguing functions in Excel.
Sure, those might all be requirements of a good project manager - and yes, we're pretty serious about the mind-reading quality (not so much in a paranormal sense, but in the sense of being capable to communicate beyond words).
Beyond all this, though, excellent project managers have the experience, the knowledge, and the constant thirst for doing better that pushes them to learn and relearn their craft over and over again, with every project, with every team structure, with every company they work for.
Good project managers constantly search for the very best methods to make things happen, to make them happen in time, and to make them happen well.
This is precisely why there are so many project management methods - and while agile itself has become, as you will see later on in this book, an umbrella term for a myriad of frameworks and every combination they can make.
What Is a Project?
The question itself might sound silly, but the truth is that you can't do proper project management without defining the very object of your work: the project.
In simple terms, a project is a series of activities meant to achieve a specific goal. The goal might be something pretty large, like a brand new, innovative software application. Or it might be something internal, like boosting the engagement among the employees. And it might as well be something more granular, such as a Black Friday marketing campaign in an eCommerce store.
This book covers the following topics:
Advantages and Benefits
Understand the Principles of Agile
Tools and Methodologies
Skills and Software Development
Monitoring and Tips for Success
The Agile Process
What Are The Reasons Why Agile Project Management Could Fail?
Tools for Greater Team Effectiveness in Agile Project Management
The Agile Development Process
Benefits of Agile Methodology
Disadvantages of Agile Methodology
How to Agile: The Work Ethic and Values
The Authenticity of Agile Management
...And much more
If you have a goal and if your goal requires more than a couple of steps to be reached, you are most likely not facing a task, or even a series of tasks, but a project.

Описание: Creativity and productivity, rapid adaptation to change, value for the customer—these are just some of the advantages of implementing agile practices in project work. However, agile practices have been most widely and successfully undertaken in the context of small, colocated teams working on small software projects, known as the “agile sweet spot.”In this monograph, Brian Hobbs and Yvan Petit explore the use and impact of agile outside of the agile sweet spot. Through a case study and survey questionnaire, they uncover research questions that have remained largely unexamined in the literature, on the project level as well as on the organizational level, namely: What challenges are encountered when applying agile approaches to large, multi-team software projects and what practices have been developed to alleviate these challenges? How does the context of large, complex organizations affect the adaptation and adoption of agile approaches and vice versa?An illuminating study of this emerging field, Agile Approaches on Large Projects in Large Organizations opens the door to further investigation on the future role of project managers, the use of scaling frameworks at the program and portfolio levels, and the effects of DevOps, one of the recent trends in agile software development.

Aziz, Wanda Curlee Название: How Successful Organizations Implement Change: Integrating Organizational Change Management and Project Management to Deliver Strategic Value ISBN: 162825386X ISBN-13(EAN): 9781628253863 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 46200.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: The only constant is change—especially in today’s business environment. Increasing globalization and the rise of new markets and technologies are forcing companies to compete in a more turbulent world than ever. To survive and thrive, organizations must be able to continuously evolve. Unfortunately, people tend to resist change. Uncertainty can be daunting, and people generally prefer to keep doing what they already know, avoiding unfamiliar situations, particularly in their work. The good news is that change can be managed using the same processes many organizations already use in their day-to-day project management activities. After all, every project results in some type of change to an organization. Building on the Project Management Institute’s Managing Change in Organizations: A Practice Guide, and drawing on the project management expertise of a wide variety of authors, How Successful Organizations Implement Change explains the critical aspects of the change management process and outlines the methods that project, program, and portfolio managers can utilize to bring effective change in a complex and transient business context. For practitioners who are directly leading the change effort as well as those affected by it; for executives formulating strategies, even those managing operations; and for academics researching or teaching others about organizational change management, the examples provided in this book cover a broad range of industries and areas of business. How Successful Organizations Implement Change combines the change management knowledge of experts, academics, researchers, and practitioners with tools, processes, and templates, all of which make this volume a valuable resource, a must-have, for leaders of change in organizations.
