MANAGING PROJECTS IN THE REAL WORLD - MELANIE M...

Managing Projects in the Real World provides clear and actionable advice to project managers
for recognizing  anticipating  and overcoming challenges associated with the human component of
leading others. The mechanics of project management are rational and straightforward to learn.
The art of project management is irrational and complex to learn. Project managers need to
develop a repertoire of soft skills that are typically hard for them  since they rose through
the ranks to that position by virtue of superior reasoning skills. But if a project manager
cannot adjudicate the clash of personalities  finesse the friction between assigned and
preferred roles  steer clear of hidden hazards  and diplomatically resolve overlapping
assertions of competing authority that project manager is in a world of trouble. From the human
perils of project management  nobody is better qualified to rescue beleaguered project managers
than Melanie McBride veteran PM and author of the Intel blog  The Accidental Profession. She
sheds light on those dark  dusty places that fall between the cracks of theory and best
practice out in the real world where irate colleagues  unrealistic product launch dates  and
virtual meetings reign supreme and run amok. In this book you ll find targeted discussions and
specific techniques to empower you to meet the challenges that project managers face every day.
The book is structured into project phases to help any project manager on any kind of project
jump right to the tried and true solution for the challenge at hand.
