SUMMARY: [From barnesandnoble.com] Even with a terrific project
management program in place, problems can arise to derail your team’s
hard work. The last thing you need in the heat of battle is academic
theory. You need field-proven fixes, practical answers to urgent
questions, and simple strategies for navigating around obstacles. 101 Project Management Problems and How to Solve Them explores a wide range of these real-world challenges, including how to:
• Keep a project on track despite unavoidable interruptions.
• Prevent unreliable outside collaborators from jeopardizing the entire project.
• Manage project teams who have little or no project management experience.
• Make up for lost time without cutting corners.
• Succeed in the face of threatened budget cuts.
• And many more.
Filled with plan-ahead strategies
as well as on-the-fly solutions, this helpful guide is the ultimate
project adviser and on-the-job troubleshooter in one!
THOUGHTS: This is a well-organized, straight forward book. The title says it all. Each question is presented, the context is given, and answers are listed. Sweet and simple.
An easy read, and one that can be done on an "as needed" basis.
RATING: 6/10 [Good]
