Your Project Management Coach is like having an experienced project management consultant in the office next door. In the authors' trademark style---engaging and personable----they show how to solve real-world problems using field-tested methods and techniques. The book doesn't attempt to provide a comprehensive overview of PM methods; you can get that in Kerzner and Wysocki. Instead, the authors focus on practical ways to solve real problems typically encountered when managing projects; the book is practical and action-oriented. The book covers the full Project Management lifecycle, from project planning and launch, managing the day-to-day project, and achieving sign-off. The authors provide unique content not found in other books, including: Planning for risk Getting wayward projects back on track Running successful meetings Generating project idea Setting up and running a Project Office Managing a portfolio of projects Determing what PM method best suits the task Special features include: Identifiers that map book topics to PMP exam topics. An index of PMP exam topics with page references to relevant book topics. Case studies that illustrate techniques and illuminate concepts. Sidebars for tips, pitfalls to avoid. Downloadable sample documents, forms, templates from the book's companion website. The website would also include checklists and quick reference guides, for example, on the components of a project plan, the planning checklist, tracking checklist, project management knowledge areas, and so on. The book's metaphorical coach would become reality, through the authors' upcoming blog, where readers can send in questions and scenarios about their projects, and the authors would provide one-one coaching.
